700R4 at work !
Had the digi-cam in the car today and found a straight section of I-75. Here you see the results of 4th gear, convertor locked. The car has a 3.55 rear gear in it.

It looks like about 82 mph at 3050 or so, is that what you saw? OBTW, what is all that white stuff outside on the sides of the roads? :D

I think you need to change your tranny speedo gear that's about what I do with a 4.11 at 3000 rpm in lockup fourth. If you have 27 inch tires your more like 95 mph@3000

Re: 700R4 at work ! (paul79)
The motor has a high volume oil pump in it. Once you are off idle it pretty much pins the gauge. I do run mobil 1 in the summer and it will drop down a little if the car is run hard on a really hot day, but for the most part that is were it sits.
I did a few speed test runs and I thought the speedo was right on. Will have to check it again, I did the math and gkull is right. with 245/60/15 tires + 3.55 rear gear + .70 tranny gear @ 3000 rpm I should be doing 95 mph.
The white stuff it just light, the digi cam opened the lens up to shoot the pic inside the car and it looks super bright outside.

It sure is easy to feel good about an overdirve transmission... My 3.08 setup turns 2300 at 80-mph! Ahhhhh. A question for the General... WHY DID YOU WAIT TILL '82 TO INSTALL OD's IN CORVETTES!!!!!?
