I ran the Power Tour in 97 with a 500 horse 440, 727, and a tight 10' converter with a 2.76. It took a little getting used to on the street, it was a little sluggish in normal traffic, compared to what I was used to, but man was it great at road speed! With a 28" tall tire and a 6100 rpm governer, at cruise speed if you stomped it, it would downshift and at 118 mph it would hit 3rd and that 69 RR speedo needle would just disappear !
