    The top end is ready to roll. I get worried about the block, rod bolts, and main caps walking after 6000. And that’s why I drive like grandpa, call 4000 the redline, and stay in the slow lane! All my junk is stock so nothings happening past that anyway. Your car pulls good in the videos. It’d be hard to lift with it still pulling.

      I got my bone stock lopo box to about 170 kmh GPS indicated (85mph speedo maxed out long ago lol).
      It was fucking terrifying, felt like a hovercraft. Could've maybe pushed it further, dunno. I'm pretty sure my axle tag says 3.08

        Woops. I made an error. I wish I put in 3.55 or 3.27 instead of the 3.73 my dad and I installed back in 2013.

            My 93 protests much at that RPM though as it's starting to choke off from exhaust restriction.
