IKR.. There was a time that 3 grand was normal in a mild street car. I knew that if I was taching 31-3200 with my 3.55s and a 4 speed, I was doing 70 or so... Didn't bother me a bit. Now that I'm much older, not sure how I'm gonna feel about it. Just wondering if the lockup is gonna make it tolerable. I've read anywhere from 200-500 rpm drop...
