Need help with this vacuum reading

for gear try a minimum of 3.73.

If you had a manual trans you could get away with less but you don't.

BTW not having enough gear for a given converter will cause the trans to have 'heat' issues, at least with most cause chances are you'll be slipping all over town till you get on the freeway. You wanna try and get your cruise rpm into the converters lock up band, if that makes to you, by lowering or numerically raising the gear ratio.

Ok, now you are scaring me a bit.

I havent noticed any slipping or anything.....pulls out ok from lights etc....feels pretty "normal" to me......shifts real firm, etc....

The tranny was rebuilt by a shop, and I had them put in a transgo kit, billet rear servo, some other stuff.....

I have had to mess with the kickdown just a bit...setting it all the way back makes her shift late......so I backed off the Lokar kickdown cable a bit and she "seems" to shift ok....sometimes I have to back off the gas just a might to get her to make the upshift to 3rd.....but I figured that was more kickdown adjustment needed?

Every once in a while I will notice a short delay in shifting from neutral into drive.....but I assumed that was me jumping the gun a bit....

Should I be worried here????

My cruise rpm at 60.....dang it, I had made a note of that somewhere....I think its around 2300 rpm or so? Doesnt seem too high or anything....but if the stock convertor lockup is 1400 or so then I am out of that range for sure....
