I don't know much about transmissions. The one I bought ~4 years ago has, according to Trans Depot;700r4/4L60E transmissions do not like shifting much over 5,500 rpm without having been built with the heavy duty clutch piston return springs and a few other goodies.
Yeah, I was in the process of getting my VE tables adjusted when the engine let go. I hadn't even tried any hard hits over 5KI would think closer to 6000 with a 224 cam
That looks good, we'll see when I get there. BTW, I see how your speedo sticks when accelerating.At 5,000-5,200 you can tell its still pulling well.
Yeah, that too.I love having that torque down in the 3,000-4,000 range though.
I just got a call from my rep at Blue Print Engines - my short block is ready and will ship either today or Monday.Well, I said "Screw It", and ordered the Blue Print 383 short block, it's 30 - 45 days out.
