I leave off the brake at 4000 I shift @7000 Thanks
I did all these calculations on wallace racing and this is asuming that you want to go through the lights at Max H/P and get to max H/P as quick as possible comming off the tree.
Thanks Andy
Whats it 60ft now ...
my guess just by the info you have giving is your converter is off, 5.14 gear should spin much higher then that with the right converter.
