Why would a Gear vendors not work??

Also, I do run a Dennys aluminum MMC shaft that is rated for this. I believe he said critical speed is 8100 with the lenght I am at and almost 9000 or so with a shorter length if I go Gearvendors instead of a 4l80. My concern with a 4l80 is the 4th gear being able to handle full power after I make the shift into 4th. I can limit power going into 4th, but then I want to be able to go back to full power.

Comp TA ZR tires were rated to 187+ I thought??

I will fabbing up a 6 point roll bar when I get time, Boy I sure wish this motor did'nt make so much power, life would be so much easier! I do have to say though, you would never guess you were doing 150 in the car, it gets theres SO fast and smooth and then WHAM your bouncing of the rev limiter! I really kind of miss the excitment of going through the gears at a normal rate that allows you to anticipate going faster. Now it is just floor it and, bam, your there, it takes a little fun out of it, you know.

Starting to get some awesome input!!
