Re: SR vs MR with 219 cam? (ralph)
Ralph,
Actually I think it will go a little quicker & faster if I get the shift points out around 5600+. However, when I went the 10.60 the thing was still shifting at 5400 with a DA of 2000-2200. I think part of the reason it ETs so well it is almost a dead hook & on the shifts it drops back to ~peak torque which is what moves the mass. As for the MPH I think it's low, that thing is outa' breath by the 1000' mark, needs more cam, less gear or a shorter intake runner. Since it took until now to get the drivetrain built up, maybe now I can start building some more power!
Thanks for the help & suggestions, Dave :cheers:
