Default Re: Speed at WOT ?

Im having this same issue and found this thread thru a googl e search. I have a 1991 ZR-1 with 68k miles. It has Borla exhaust so its possible it has 4.10s. With the tach reading 7000 rpm I'm at ~100mph in 3rd gear. I did the HVAC test and the tach is off ~300 rpm but it doesn't seem like 300 rpm would make a 20mph difference. I guess the only way to be sure is jack the rear up and count driveshaft revs?

Do you have a GPS? Compare that to your speedo.

Did that too. Speedo is accurate. Also, the shift light does come on when the tach reads 7k.

The tach reads 1900. I checked using the HVAC readout and engine speed at 70mph is 1650.
What controls the shift light? The tach or the ecm?
