Hoping to license the first weekend in May! 509 BBC backed by a ATI ProGlide, Dana 60 4.11 gears. Thank you all in advance, this will be a huge learning curve coming from my footbrake 11 second nova.

5000 is a decent place to start. First of all you need it to be high enough to cut a light, then you can play with it up or down according to what the car seems to like.
