I just go by the trip computer, either the Garmin or pioneerEh. Little ol' 5.3, small cam and crippling 4L60...
Although, after watching it some more, I guess it does seem to still be climbing half-decently well up to around 117. Maybe I'm expecting a little too much from the brick.
I determined the "wall" to be around 125-130ish. I let off when it looked like the RPM climb stalled around 5,600.
Running the math just for fun:
5,600 RPM engine speed
1:1 Third gear trans ratio
3.73 Diff gear ratio
32" Tire (16" radius)
= 142.9 MPH
I know I wasn't going over the low 130s. Hard numbers don't account for slip in the unlocked torque converter.
Have you still got pictures/diagrams of those handy? This seems like the lowest and easiest solution

Does that loooooooong and slow WOT RPM climb after 100MPH give y'all anxiety, too?
Yes, it used to be anyway. When I did mine back in ‘14 chevy did me the same dirty way... sold me the filter then I had to source the door. Pretty sure Amazon had just the door and I probably paid 2x the amt but meh, it is wut it was....Is the retrofit door itself available separately? It's not a difficult job to perform. Or, get the whole retrofit kit and you'll have a replacement filter on hand already.

Can you check that 6+ year-old pile of parts in your garage for that door to get a part number, please?
