With the 4.44's and the AP! trasnmission, did you have to shift to 3rd before 60mph?

How much is a brand new AP2 Tranny?
Whatever happened to the Reverend's Gear Ratio calculator?
Did you mainly want the extra gear reduction in the AP2 output shaft? OR did you want the wider ratio tranny gears?
You could up to an AP2 long block like I did
I'm not sure about the 4.44's, but I have 4.57's and an AP2 transmission. I have to shift to 3rd at 58 or 59mph.
4.44's would see 2nd top out at 58.7 mph
4.57's would see 2nd top out at 57 mph (you have about a 2.9% mechanical advantage). What you're seeing may be speedo error.
This would compare to an AP1 stock drive train (4.10 rear) of 66.3 (again using 9000 as redline).
None of the above compensates for non-OEM tires.

XV - - We are thinking alike.. Look forward to your comprehensive DIY
The only additional thing is swapping the output flange from my old tranny onto the new tranny so the propshaft will bolt back on and this has been discussed a few times, too.
I may talk about my driving impressions as every one who's done this will have their own feelings about it. But don't expect to see that till the winter's snow has gone.
