I think with the 400 it'll be ok but I won't know for sure until we start running that car. If it doesn't work out I'll just change it. No biggie.

Not that bad actually. In a perfect world,if he crosses the line at 140mph,he should be on spinning the engine a little over 6200rpm.even with a loose converter, he should be under 7000rpm.
Don't forget,the t400 setup is totally different than the 6l80 or the M6.
The only thing it might not be the best car for highway driving because of no overdrive.But who care's.
He has the Vette for that.

Lol....
Sorry,we are use to see you run on the slow side.lol..... Joke

At 150mph,depends on the converter,you should see 7000rpm easy,possibly a bit more.
Might consider 3.50's for gears.

So this is where you've been hiding. I'm glad to see the engine coming together. I can't wait to see what comes of the vette!

It'll be an easy decision. It's whichever car still runs.
