I plan on putting 3.73's in at some point. I was curious to know this, though. Seeing as my car is an automatic (93 3.4 Camaro), if I put it in drive and take off down the highway or some other open stretch of road, by about 110, I'm doing 5k rpms. Obviously I still have overdrive, but if I were to put in 3.73s, where would my top end be affected?

I mean, never mind that your car, and all V6 f-bodies, are electronically limited to 118 MPH, nor that you could probably couldn't find a stretch of road long enough to go that fast...
