Thanks, I am looking into that BUT a program like it still may not show odd defects in my plans, like what I have ran on a program covering the gear rations, rear end, and tire size.

It shows that the 8L90 gears will be great, it does not show if you can run in those gears for long times. I can see that I might be running in 4th though 6th gear a lot and only get into 7th and 8th rarely.

So how does automatics handle using lower gears for long times??
