1/4 Mile!

Well what I dont like is how it winds through the 4.10's so damn quick. Like I said, when I cross the 1/4 mile line, the tach is almost pushing red, and I know it would pull a little harder earlier in the powerband. And I dont like it doing a steady 5800 or so before I can ease off. 1st to 2nd gear, at full pedal, shifts more like 5200-5400 rpms or so if I remember correctly..

I think when I get this tranny done..(when it gets rebuilt it's getting the works by the way..TransGo shift kit, manual valvebody, ratchet shifter, POSSIBLY different first and second gear, but I think I'll leave em alone...), but I'm thinking of adding a stall converter to that list....would 3000 rpms be too radical for a daily driver with almost all city time? I say 3000 because right around 3000 is where it seems to begin to really put you back in the seat.

I'd go with a 2500rpm converter. 3000 may be a bit too high for a street driven stang.
