The motor pulls very hard to the 6600 RPM limiter right now so I'm going to up that. Probably shift at 6800.

Remember its a little 355 and doesn't really have an abundance of tq
The stall speed so far feels great. Much less and it would be bogging.

I want to do some N/A runs with the 4.30s but it will have 3.73s to 3.50s when I spray.

12.08 @ 112.5 1.63 60' hit rev limiter on this pass

Conditions were worse 7300 DA 14mph head wind.

Didn't lose a whole lot of MPH with the swap... I would say PTC makes a pretty damn good converter.

There's a lot more to gain in the 60. This was at 4200 on the 2 step. Still bone stock suspension.

Nice job man, how much is left just in the motor tune? Timing? Lambda? I got raped for loud exhaust, no front plate, and tinted taillights by the local PD... my street tuning days are over until more mufflers show up I'll now have 2 bullets, two auger inserts, and two pypes race-pros on it. I'm sure your diesel is louder dude.

Thanks guys. The fueling is real tight but I think it will take more timing no problem. That and get some.more RPMs out of it and a little better 60 and it will be there.
