Do you think it's better for me to run out 2nd instead of shifting into 3rd? I'm crossing the finish line in 3rd at 5800 rpms which equates to 19% converter slip. I'm shifting into 3rd 300-400 ft before the finishline. I make the 2-3 shift between 120-125mph which calculates to less than 6% slip. I'm thinking of trying a taller tire so I can run through in 2nd instead of 3rd. I should also be able to leave harder on the taller tire. The converter is working pretty good at high RPM, I'm seeing a 1000-1200 RPM drop when shifting at 6900 rpms.
Do you think I'll see an improvement in ET or MPH since the converter will be slippling a lot less. I'll also be just past my peak HP if it works out.
p.s. Don't say to change my rear gear, that's not going to happen.
