i got buddies gps today to check my speedo and really wasnt to thrilled now almost wanna sell car n buy something faster or do something lol.

60mph = 3,000

65mph = 3,500

110 = bout 5,800 and thats what she maxes out at . my speedo is pegged on 140 but gps says only 110 .

Thats right about where my 67' cruises..and its got a C4 and 3.55s..BTW if you didn't change your speedo gear..thats why your pegging your speedo and going 30 mph less.

trust me I have a customer with a c-4 in his ride and 4.11 gears and I had a 4 speed in my 66 with 1.1 ratio and 3.50 gears, when I swapped to a t-5 , overdrive was great to have....don't give that option up, you'll wish you hadn't
