We can take this to another thread if needed.

You should probably be using a multi-stage stop. It would allow you to not be on the first stage so long because the second stage would be engaged after the first stage shuts off.

Also, your rpm on the stop starts out at 3800 and creeps up to 4150. It is going to be tough to be predictable. I think you should lay it down to 3600 or more. If you have a recordable tach you should be able to see how steady it is. If its not steady at 3600 then some carburetor work is in order. It might be as simple as leaning out your intermediate air bleeds.

Another thing to think about is your torque converter. I have tried numerous different converters and have found that they can make a huge difference in how steady the rpm is on the stop.

#1 Stop makes a really good 2-staged stop.
