Nothing about it is made for 70-80 except the speedometer, with or without an OD. Who goes 80 miles an hour on an "ice cream run"? I would not go 70-80 in my TF's. Steering, brakes and other components not "robust "enough for that speed. No seat belts? Forgetaboutit. BTW: an overdrive transmission does not make you go faster. Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
