383 super ram guys.

Can you post your 1/8th mile times? I went the the track without messing with the timing and letting it shift from 1-2 on it own went 7.53@91.20. This was hot laping it. I have no idea where she is shifting at.. Da, I have no idea.

So your in the ballpark. Not knowing anything particular, with DA, traction etc. I would say your very close to where you should be with that setup.

Play with the timing and you will nail it down to exactly where you need to be.

I have a few more issues that need to be worked out then..I can't keep the car in first gear at all. I think its shifting at 4k range.

Get yourself a good shift light. Shift at 5400 and see what she will do.

I have accidentally shifted into drive instead of 2nd and lost a couple 10ths.
