Re: Should I bother with another 700R ?

I'm on my second 700, but the first one was not built by a tranny guy. This one seems to be fine. Running 3.73 gears with 31X10.50 Coopers all the way around. At 60mph I am running right at 2000 rpm's. I run a hydraulic lockup on mine as well. No electrical lockup. The torque converter locks up at 35 mph as long as I am in OD. This setup has made it for over 4 years now. Not sure on the mileage as I am gone a lot underway. I'm guessing probably about 5 or 6k miles.

powell72,
What makes you say 1500 is too low? See http://700r4.com/speedoCalc/rpmcalc.php
