What a great place , thanks to all who keep up this site, new here, learning about bracket racing.
I have built a 97 ranger, 2900 w/me, about 400 hp FW 302, E85, Drag race only I foot brake it and sure would like to get it to leave harder. its a PTC 5500 8 inch. It will barely ft brk, in 1st gear 3000 rpm. and takes a bit to climb into power.
It has a 5.71 gear and a 28 in PBR. it drops 1100 rpm between shifts which i think it should be alot less. its a Hyd roller 237/243 @50 .602/.610 on a 105.5 . I would think I need to have it flash right up to 4500 or so, how do i do that with out getting rid of the SLR? help appreciated, Robert
