I was buzzing down the road today going about 65 mph. I stomped the gas, and it downshifted, and held 2nd until I was going about 75 mph, then shifted back up. Is this normal, or am I in the danger zone? Car pulls so hard up in the top range of the rpms I can't believe it. Down low it stumbles until it hits 3000, then it takes off like it is on fire. I know I havea carb problem, but I am just wondering about the tranny, and what it can take. I have a 2400 rpm stall, if that makes a difference.

my friend has one behind a bbc 427 vette motor and we got sideways doing 6,500 r.p.m's but its modded, manual valve body etc...

So the occasional high speed run (Byron this weekend, hopefully if the weather holds up) should be ok.

ya u should be ok make sure it has good fluid levels, its not like it would just blow up if u only get on it occasionally, unless somthing is wrong.
