In 5th, the 4.0 doesn't have enough power to overcome drag. Keeping OD off will keep the RPM's up. Even some of the auto GT's have reported similar power fall-offs.
BTW, you might want to watch those runs into triple digits with the 4.0 and a stock DS. The OE DS's are prone to destruction over 115-120 MPH.

Hey ward did you have the OD turned off the other night at the dragway? Did your car even make it to 5th? might have still helped. Is your car redlining before it shifts? it would have been nice to see the tach in the video but better to have your eyes on the road. any more progress on your 8.8 or slicks? also what do you (and anyone else in GA) think about coming to this? http://www.nmcadigital.com/schedule/event2.php

mines nowhere near as modded as yours but i get the same feeling around 95 ish. i can hit 90 or 95 on the highway on accident easily, but when im really trying to hit the limiter on mine, it feels like its dragging trying to get there

yea on the track OD is always off thats why i didnt ever notice it until i was going this fast on the interstate.....
my car goes to fifth at about 105 soo i finsih most of my runs around 110 so yea but barely ....one thing to note tho that was with stock gearing
tach in the vid would be nice but my camera is me and holding it that far out would be to shaky for it to be safe hahah.....
the 8.8 with 3.73 and tlock is installed and broken in....however i havent been back to the track to test it....i did however murder a 14 sec car on the streets so its a definete upgrade....
as far as the event goes i have no idea ill have to ask around...
ill be coming to the track soon so we can hang out again
