Had a PM from a regular poster on here and he hit on a point not yet mentioned. Power strikes on the crank. As Jeff pointed out the drop is less on the 3-4 shift than the 2-3 shift. So the initial rpm after the gear change is higher resulting in more power strikes for the same time period and at a higher HP (RPM)level so more force is applied at the 3-4 shift than any other shift.

When is the "very near furure"? Don't think I'll be out this year in my car. I went against the trend and made a couple realtors happy. Bought a house on 4 acres with a 3000' shop.
Still own the other house and equiping the shop so not much spending on the Cuda. Putting the old house on the market in a couple weeks. Will take a beating but got a deal on the new one so we don't care. You selling anything out there?
