Rear Gear Question

njk53 · 09-17-2013, 01:29 PM

First gear is 2.75. Fastest the car has ever gone was at Martin last August. 60' was 1.62 ET was 12.25 @ 108 MPH. We have played around with shift points from 6150 to 6250. Didn't really make a difference. We were at the track last Friday and the best I went was 12.39 @ 107. The air was good and it was a nice cool day, should have gone better than what we did.

I have to admit, most of the time when I go through the lights, the shift light does not come on in 3rd gear, so I am not reaching the set engine RPM.

My brother and I feel the car has more in it but are struggling to find the extra ET and speed.
