yea its "sounds" like its redlining. i don't have a tach in it just yet. but it f-ing screams at around 65. i just tore the rear apart today and it has 3.73's in it. something seems really off with this to me. a lot of people are racing there cutlass' with 4.11's and mine just seems like its ...... sucking. lol but when im doing like 30-35 the speedo is almost buried just pass 80 or 90 (can't remember what is the final number on it) someone mentioned a torque converter issue.... dunno seems like im missin something but the car goes like a bolt of lighting till 65 or so. like i said rough estimate being my speedo dosen't work and no tach.
