yes speed govenor was bypassed. On the highway it’ll creep up past 100 but that’s only in long distance. It has a brand new coil and plugs and cap on it. Has true duals no cats. I don’t know how to check the fuel pressure or the plenum. It does seem it’s going through WAY to much oil. I’ll have it filled and 2 weeks later it’ll be below the add mark. But it doesn’t run rough. Starts right up and runs great. Just has me stumped on this

no I’m getting overdrive. If I let of the gas it’ll shift into overdrive and it goes into overdrive all the time if I drive easy. It’s a brand new transmision. On the highway it’ll creep up to 112 but then I took the speed limiter off with the chip. It seems like it just don’t want to rev up in rpms. First and second will go all the way up in rpms if I want it to 4-5 but 3rd won’t go up. It’ll slowly creep to 3-3500 and even if I’m floored not go no higher. I feel like it should go up high as I want it to till it shifts. Then it feel like over drive is just a dog to
Edit: I'd also take that chip off and see if that solves the issue. If it does then get a decent program instead.

I got one of the best chips out and also got a sct but superchip is in right now. I took it out. It made no difference as in my problem. It runs better with chip in. But no it like stops at 3500 rpm. It might creep slowly. But like so slowly as in a mile or 2 it’ll get to maybe 3600 3700. It won’t go over 80-85 it just stops
