hey thanks for the info , the 2550 rpm is before lock up on t/c correct . What do you think it will be in overdrive or t/c lock up which is almost like 5 th gear ?
Thanks for your time

No this would be lock up RPM's.

This is based on 3rd or 4th gear 1:1 ratio 3rd and .7:1 4th with lockup. Depending on the torque converter without lockup may be slightly higher. But most stock converter's lockup ~ 1600-2400 RPM so it may be no different anyway.
