is this right?

i finally got my speedo correct. found out that i had an 8 tooth drive instead of 7. so after a $20 gear and getting my friend parker, the cop, to gun me, i got it correct. BUT now im seeing 65mph @ 1800-2000. is this correct??? i mean it seems a little low to me. BTW its an AOD with 3.73's out back. i dotn really know what to think about this at all, im so used to people saying i should be running a litle higher, and ive always complained with it haveing very little oomph at those speeds, but when i get it up to 2500+ its ok, but i think thats due to the E-cam.

am i just being paranoid?

I think autos with 373's sit at around 2000 at 60 if that helps...I'm sure a few auto guys with chime in...

oh ok, well thats cool. i actually thought for a sec that my tach might not be right now and it just aggrevated me. glad to know that its ok though.

sounds like all is ok to me. most guys go with a minimum of 4.10s with an auto FWIW. also, i think it feels sluggish at those speeds because you have a stock tq converter (correct me if i'm wrong) and the e-cam.

I think its more the cam...because most normal driving won't get you near the solid powerband of the ecam...If I was you and money isn't to much trouble I would get a custom cam....Good Luck...

With 3.73's and an 8 tooth driven gear there is no exaxt fix to it. the closest one is the 23 tooth gear which actually corrects for 4.10's it only about 3% off.
