I keep it in 3rd gear and it has 2.73 gears...it probably shifts around 5500-5800 rpms usually, and I shift into third gear at 100mph so thats probably like 10-20 feet from the finish line. I deep stage all the time so that was the same, and It was the first time with the MT radials on so I wasn't sure if i could do the full 1800rpm stall so thats why they weren't the same.
I was not really hot lapping it had a good 30 min between runs since there were alot of people, and it was raining on and off that night.
Honestly I don't know what else I can really so driving wise I max out the stall converter and just mash the gas with no slipping of the tire so I come out of the hole fine. I know my gears suck balls but I'm trying to figure out why I had a worse top end and not a bettter since i'm already higher up in the rpm range when I launch.
And the other thing is i ran a 13.782 on street tires with some slip in the tires and I was just doing brake gas no stalling of the converter. So go figure on that one....
