I prefer to shift around 5500 so I don't fall off the torque curve.

Ok, I'll quit being a dick for a second and reiterate what others have already told you.

Go to a test and tune night and do a little "testing and tuning".

First, shift where you did before and write down your trap speed.

Then shift at 6200 and write it down

then 6400

then 6600

then 6800

then 7000

and so on. If you have datamaster record the runs with it and see where you are actually shifting.

What is your rev limiter set at?

And by those RPMs I dont mean what your tach reads, I mean ACTUAL rpms.

I would suspect you'll find the ideal sweet spot between 6600 and 6800.

your whole build is a fail. take a valvespring off and test it. find what your installed height is, what your open/closed pressures are, and what coil bind is.

Ok so you don't know anything about the heads. Then, as said they are probably junk.

Between that and your lack of RPM, just those two issues are all it would take to see the subpar results you are seeing.

When you post anything that takes more than 30 seconds to write AND is correct for a change I will care what you thiink.

I carefully answered a thread and a person took 30 seconds to say it is wrong. I didn't handle it well true but it is easy to say something is wrong and twist your own words...

Let me put it in a way that even you will get..

That means a 3400 pound car with 330 hp will go 11.941. I then say all people on here are far below what their can should be running!

Becuse a 3700 lb car will go the same et with 358 hp!

What person will believe that? No one that has any clue the larger and or looser the convertor the less reliable dyno numbers are!

There are MANY cars in the 10's dynoing 400 HP that is the DYNO's problem not the calculators!

If you don't see that you are beyond help!

Good luck

Resend the datamaster file it didn't arrive!

The only calculators that ate close ate the weight vs trap speed ones. Everyone knows the ET ones are a home because too many factors go into running a good et, with HP being only one.

A buddies car makes 960 HP and ran a mid 11 the only time it went to the track.
Bet that pisses your little calculator off.

PS it trapped 156 on that run...

First learn to read go to my garage look a my timeslip...
You should LEARN something about drag racing before posting pure BULLSHIT.
mid 11 and 156mph is a LAUGH makes NO sense calling you a moron insults morons!

Wow you know someone that has a car damn that is pitiful. To impress a girl I bet you point to your friends pants ha?

Do you realise how lame your statements are? You define ignorance and I suspect impotence.

Damn you are special AND only a MORON would say an 11 and 156 that shows you have NO clue about racing. Before getting my tune right and with only 16 psi I went 6.11 my car would coast to a 10! WHAT a MORON

Don't believe look at my garage and time slip (note the date and when it was post). BEYOND funny NOW NEVER say a word near me you must follow your own advice and STFU you KNOW NOTHING and YOU PROVED it!

Ooh I think I struck a nerve. Keep hurling toothless redneck insults, it suits you. I proved I know the difference between a reality and an internet calculator. You're wrong, you're red in the face, your ego had been damaged and instead of addressing the FACTS you result to personal attacks.

Keep them coming, they are quite amusing.

Thanks for the signature I didn't want to use your other notables since I wasn't part of the threads. This one is sooo special and ALL MINE!.

You said the only accurate calculators use MPH READ this thread you will see mine uses MPH. Don't you get ANYTHING right?

Your mid 11 at 156 was a total lie that is obvious to ALL. And for my gong to the track Sonny I have been there since before you were born. Didn't you see my garage there are picture even you should be able to read a timeslip but then again I forgot who this is...

Thanks again for the laugh I thought your welding rods was unbeatable but you did it! A dubious notoriety.

PLEASE keep posting you are the best proof of your inabilities.
