I don't know how your car is tuned but my car is perfectly fine top speed on her should be near 165-170mph. not that I'm interested in going that fast, but the car is pretty stable... no floating.
Ok, if you were shifting at the stock redline then you would be at 106 topped out in 4th. With you shifting at 6400 as you say then you will be hitting 119 in 4th..which is nowhere near the

that you said

As far as my car goes....I still have the 3.42s and my shift lite is set at 6k, so I can take it into the 130 range, the calculator shows 134, but my speedo reads 130 when the lite illuminates

It's been programmed...but my tranny has been altered a bit also...

I didn't shift into 4th a 120... if that's what your thinking... after I shifted into 4th I ran it up to 120.

He said the gears in his tranny were swapped... guess you didn't read the thread.

Lol good kill on the dumb ricers. And anyone that thinks LT1s are slow, seriously needs to get with the program!

Uh, yeah, I DID read the thread he said that he had 4.10s...nothing about having different internal ratios in the actual tranny itself until the last post of his Sounds to me like YOU need to read the thread

no, I replied about my transmission breifly in a reply to that guy with the Red transam sitting on the beach. It's on page 3 of this thread.

Honestly if you guys don't believe me I don't really care.
