Need Gear Recommendation

Yeah, the 1-2 shift probably needs to be about 6200-6400, at most.

The 5.38 will help if you swap to a 2.52 low gear, what's going on here is you have way too much drop between 1st and 2nd, the car is not moving fast enough, and the RPM drops too far.

Think Mark is on it...converter or something else needs to be addressed. That 60 ft has to get better regardless of which index you're after.

Carb tuning is a big factor as well!

That was going to be my point too, Myron... after I asked about the total timing, and where the cam is in at.
