Are you sure it does 95mph in 2nd? That seems like a hell of a lot. I thought it would do 80mph at the most. I also have a slushbox (700R4) behind my peanut cammed 305 TPI, but it never seemed like it was going 95MPH at 5000rpm in 2nd. The reason I'm asking is my speedo is busted, so I never know when I hit 60mph.
