We shoulda swapped your VE for my race car...

With the 4.44 I was shifting to 5th at 7150 and going down to 5575. And for "less than stellar" you need an engine builder, son!

See? Now you're talkin'.

Good luck with that. <grin>

Can't see how, unless it runs really tall tires. Going from .756 to .733 at 3500 drops the revs to 3394, then from the 4.176 FD to 4.058 down to 3298 RPM.

Someone check my math...?
