Car is an '05GT with a new 5.3L. I currently have a 3650 backup up with a 4.10 rear gear, and top speed in 4th is around 130. I expect straight speeds to increase with the new mill (140-145 mph), so now I'm sweating the tranny.
What kind of trouble am I asking for putting a 3650 into 5th gear while on an uphill straight on a road course (back straight at VIR)?
Do I need to change my rear gear to handle my top track speed in 4th gear?
Do I just loose a little time with the shift, or am I headed for a failure?
