Quote: Well..... At least in the quarter mile, according to Larry Meaux, every single three speed auto record that he has ever seen that was data logged......... The shifts occurred 300-500 after peak power, and they crossed the stripe 800-1000 past peak power........ That's quarter mile. And those are his words exactly. I assumed he had seen alot of data logs to make that statement.
I know I've seen a lot of data in my cars and customer cars and Larry and I have been around a while. If your engine falls off on power like a rock dropping of a cliff after the 7300 it will slow you down going to 8,000.
I'm no rookie or keyboard guy, just trying to pass on some info and help.
If Larry is your Hero PM me and I will give you his cell #. You can get all the information instead of part of it.
