The current TH400 (Auto) tranny is gear-limited to about 174mph on the DR's we are running so that is why we were done at 21psi with the 173 traps were hitting over the weekend.

With the 6-speed back in it the car would mph like crazy

We haven't dynoed it past 13xx rwhp but that was on much less boost. All the calculators put it around 1400-1500 based on the trap speed and weight now but that is just a guess.
