Default O/D auto trans/rear gear combo...highly recomeded

2004r/3.90 Thats it. Great gear spread with plenty of tq from the hole. The full throttle shift into 4th at 105mph feels friggin awsome. All I need now is more power. Then I can get really sick.

:smash: :crazy:

Been wanting a 200r4 ever since Page62 told me about his! Did you get yours from BTO?

Did you get yours from BTO?
Yes, he did. It says "BTO 2004R" in his sig.

Good to hear though, that is the gear I was thinking about running. That or a 3.73, whats your RPM at 70mph with a 3.90?

Are your shifting at about 5000 rpm?

Yes BTO.. Its a solid rebuild but I wasnt really happy with thier programing so I changed that with a shift kit and a modified govenor. So now it shifts harder and later at WOT. When left in D it upshifts about 5k. But when I wanna shake every ounce of power from the motor I manually shift and hold it out to 5500rpm. It revs about 2300rpm while locked up in 4th at 70mph with a 26" tire. Its perfect..I just want more power!!!! Gotta gottta have it. :D First and second is gone in no time. Third hangs on a little longer. Then at about 105 you feel the squat in the rear and the nose lift a little as the r's drop when it shifts to 4th. I usually cant stay in 4th too long as I find myself quickly aproaching something or another. ive also hammered the convertor pretty good by locking it during my runs at the track. Its holding up good. Knock on wood. :)
