Did you ever put the 3.55's in?? I have a D36 with 3.54's but; I am trying to get more input if the car would scream down the highway at 70mph??

its my opinion that if your motor is stock it may be too much gear for the low rpm tune port.

I have a stock TPI with just some bolt ons. I had the rear built when the trans was being rebuilt. When I got the trans back in I didn't know how bad it was broken until I drove it rebuilt. I bought the car with the trans on its way out. All I did was a transgo shift kit with a 2300 stall. I have a different car now. I still had to pay for the rear at the other shop. The rear is completly new. I paid alot also. I have US gears and clutches and its sitting wrapped up in my basement. I might just sell it......

thanks again....
