Ernie,

You are right as usual. I went and got my manual and I have the .6 split and not the .8 as I stated above. I know when I ordered the transmission I wasn't sure and after I got it in I knew I had gone the wrong way. With that .8 kicking my gear ratio up to around 2:10 I can't even break through the wall of air to get near my power band. So as I said above, most of my driving is in 4th gear. I did try one time in 5th and got it up to about 115 MPH at around 3200 RPM and the car just bogged and bucked against that wall of air. Went back to 4th and went right on past it. I do use 5th when I have to drive on the freeway as I can do 70 at 1900 RPM. I should have checked with someone who knew what they were talking about when I built my car in 1996.
