I am going to run my 98 auto for the first time at a track on Sun.I have 4.56 gears in it,and I'm not going to use the O/D .My question is am I gonna run out of rpms in 3rd before I reach the end of the track?Thanks in advance
Chances are, if you're running 4.56 gears in the rear w/ a 26in diameter tire on the rear, you're going to run out of gear. Unless of course if you've got a higher rev-limiter than what a stock 98 GT has.
I have knew of a few cases where people shifted into o/d at Wide open throttle and the o/d band lived through it. It's not something I recommend doing though, especially with a 4.56 gear ratio in the rear end. The only way I would do it is if I had a beefed up racing o/d band that is meant to be shifted into at Wide open throttle. Just my .02 cents.
What other mods do you have done to your 98 automatic GT ?
