Throttle stop ratio question

wayne sipos · 02-10-2011, 06:52 PM

just curious...... why do you want to run the stop rpm so high?

Well Wayne, a couple of reasons, first, I'm just a little over a half of a second under so I dont have much to begin with and second, I want to shift into Hi right away for consistency which kills about .25 so now I'm barely .25 under and I really dont want to come off the stop in Lo for obvious reasons. I also dont want to run less than 1 second total timer cause that doesnt work well at all so thats what it takes me to run 9.9 with about 2.2 timer., 54-5500 rpm.

Thanks Wayne for that info, that helps alot. confirms what I was thinking anyway and heads me in the right direction. 5 to 1 with 4800

That must put me @ 7 to 1, 8 to 1??
