Ok guys, here we go.
I got a 55 Chevy 2dr sdn with a 350 small block and about 325 to 350hp. At this time it is running a 350 turbo trans with a B&M shift kit.
Would like to go to a overdrive in order to bring down the RPM's when on the highway. I have got 3:56 gears with a posi unit, and rear tires are about 26.5in. tall.
The motor will run around 2900 RPM at 65 MPH. I would like to be down to the 2200 to 2300 RPM at this speed.
So now iam looking into a 700R4 or overdrive unit. I have heard alot of bad things on the 700R and HP. They just don't seem to go togeather. On the other hand I have also seen ads and comments on aftermarket 700R's ( like Raptor, TCI, and Bowtie ) that seem to contradict the stories.
On the Gearvendors Overdrive I have heard nothing but good stuff, other than the price being a little high. ( about $2500.00 )
I use this car for cruise nights and shows, but also for vacations from NJ to NC and TN (we do cruise nights and shows their too)
Would be intersted in hearing pro's or con's on the 700R4 vs Gearvendors Overdrive.
