top end power on lsj's
I was cruising at 80 then dropped gears and took off it wasn't until i shifted in to 5th that it just crept along. I know 5th is for overdrive just didnt expect to just creep that slow when i shifted
First off, you should not be shifting to 5th at 115 even stock. Stock rev limit 4th gear should take you to or just north of 125. And a stock LSJ will go a solid 145mph. I did it once and my friend with a stock SS SC was right next to me. Havent gone that fast since stock 
I know ive priced all the parts i browse the classifieds on here all the time. just really really want to finish this car before i go into another project. i plan on buying the parts and slowly getting everything together then when i put on the exhaust setup do everything at once.
well. pulley injectors and tune will not be adding 80 lets be real here. but yeah its not that expensive to add anything to these cars.
What gear did u go to, at 80 u should of been in 3rd if u webt to 4th and then 5th thats why u was so slow.
No clue then, stock ss/sc are quick lil cars but not fast by any means, some ofthe people talking about how slow they are also deive 400+ hp cars so thats what they are use to now anything slower is gonna feel slow as ****.
yeah im not saying the car isnt quick. just saying that i thought i'd hold power until 130 then just kind of crawl up or gov out
Have u checked ur ic pump when my car was stock abd the pump was dead id lose alot of top end power once the car got warmed up doing 100+ can cause u to heat soak easy if ur ic pump is dead iv got a video ill link for u so u know how to check it gimmie a min to dig up the link

158*
when i made my post earlier saying stock we really kind of lose our oompf around 100-105 when we shift in to 4th. yes they can hit 150s. but its going to take a while.
