Default Drag racing info needed---->HELP!!!

I need some shift extension data from some of the low 11/high 10 Sec N/A auto cars...

Can u tell me where u shift and where it drops back to on your 1 to 2 and 2 to 3?

Also what FLASH stall are u seeing on your autotap?

FWIW I took the UT4600 out of my car and decided to have it restalled to a TP4400 but I still need this info if u guys can help....

My car peaks at 6500 HP and 4600 TQ
As of now my Vig 4200 flashed right to 4200 which I feel is 200 light,I still think the Yank TP4400 will do alittle better and be better on the top end.Would u agree?

Only real thing I dont like about the Vig is its dropping back to 5300 from a 6700 shift point?
I thought ideally u only wanted 1100/1200 shift drop Max on a setup like some of us have?

Any help?

JS I run a TP4400 w/ 4.10s.

I flash to 4400 off the line, shift at 7000, and RPMS drop to 5850 in all three gears.

JS, I'll need to look at some Atap runs. I don't look at my tach when I race most of the time. You may want to contact Ragtop99. He knows lots about this subject, especially as it pertains to the Yank products.

JS,

If your Vig if flashing to 4200 now, I think it might flash just a tad higher in the cooler air when the car is making a bit more power. Does that make sense? I would think it would flash 1-2% higher in cooler weather, meaning it would be closer to 4250-4300. Thats not far from where you want to be.

Kenny I talked to a very smart drag racer this week.He confirmed what u said about weather hp/tq and its relation to flash stall.

He said,I'll see another 100 rpm out of my Vig in the fall but I'm still 100/200 rpm off what I need.I really need the 4400/4500 flash.

Not to mention the shift extension of the Yanks is better from testing them both.

I will only drop to 5500/5600 with the Yank TP4400.The best this Vig has done is 5300 which too low for my hp curve.

I wont change the Vig out until first week of Oct.By then I can get a fair comparision of the 2 verters in my car...I still think the TP4400 is the one to run.It plain kicks *** on the shift extension over a Vig.

It should also be worth 11RWHP over the Vig in the 4000 to 6800 range.

Thanx guys
