Was looking for factual and solid info. on weather the 6r80's 5th gear can handle a few seconds here and there running in 5th at wot @ just under 800rwhp and with stock converter.
I currently run 3.55's and I am limited to about 155-156mph in 4th and am looking to do a couple half mile races this summer and was wandering if the trans will take a few passes going into 5th and running in 5th to about the 170 mark +/-. Any real world info would be greatly appreciated- I don't want to switch rear gears unless I really have to- I understand when things are modified there is no cut and dry 100% answer was just wandering if any one has any real experience with this.
