Thumbs up Re: 75 Nova U/SA

I believe the secret to unlocking a better ET out of this car is really basically in the converter and rear gear. Last year while talking to Lenny C. he had talked about rpm drop between gear changes and what the converter played in this. I've heard folks say rpm should not drop more than 500 between gear changes ?? While making a pass the Nova sounds like this drops significantly between second and high gear. Best results so far have been shifting about 5500. Does the 10% rule still apply for trap rpm ? Should the car run through the lights over 6 grand and some ? Still need to check the flash rpm for the converter too. What flash rpm would you recommend ?
