My car has a 25+ MPH pickup (1/8 to 1/4) with 2-3 shifts at 5000 and a trap RPM of 5700 (pulls hard above 5500). If I shift the 2-3 @ 5700 it picks up 1/8 MPH however I lose the big end pick up. This is my guess: When shifting the 2-3 at 5700 it makes my trap RPM too low. Ok here’s the question: So how do you balance this?
does the et better with the higher shifts?inmo you have to get the car to accelerate quicker by leaving harder and adding boost 22psi on a 66 should be just scratching the surface.what are your 60fts and how much boost are you leaving with to get it?
What is a good boost level to launch at off foot brake? My car is running 12.56 and 110.83 mph with a horrible 2.023 60'. But i havnt launched with any boost yet. And alky wasnt working so i stayed around 3/4 throttle with no knock.
Always tune the bottom out before you go for the top. There is more e.t. to clip off running faster in the eighth.
The bottom line is, you need to pick a shift rpm which will net you the best ET regardless of what the mph is.
