2k rpm, 55mph uhhh wtf?
ok i just got my 750hp capable tranny into the car two weeks ago, i have been babying the hell out of it durring the break in period. I noticed in my old tranny that 5th gear wasnt really a racing gear but just OD, now 5 gear is right in sync with 4th in my power band and when im cruising im at 2,000 rpms at 55mph. Holy **** thats alot of gas mileage being wasted. I have 410s and in my old tranny doing 80 i was at 2k. What do you guys think. They just put differrent ratios in the tranny since its built for some serious power.

I wasn't going to ask, since trannies are rated by torque capacity it had to be some line of poop--a stock 3650 could handle 750 HP, you'd just have to spin the engine at 11k rpm...

Yup, 360 lb.ft. * 11,000rpm / 5252 = 753.99 HP[/align][/align]Actually I don't know if the 3650 is rated for that kind of input speed, with the 0.62:1 5th gear the output shaft would be spinning nearly 18k rpm!!![/align]
