vette in la.
what i am trying to say is that my car is an automatic...there is no way for me to push in a clutch and make boost...your car being a 6 speed with 3.42 gears and a 26" tall tire has a shorter 1st gear ratio than my automatic with 3.23 and 28" tall tire, so there is no way for me to get into a higher rpm when we are going the same speed from a roll. check out your gear ratio in first and then check it out for a 4l60e...if we leave at the same mph your rpm's will be much higher than mine and you will also shift alot sooner then me therefore reaching your peak boost faster...you shifted your car into second when i was still in first when we raced. but neway i still believe your car is faster than mine from a roll you just havent proven it yet...give it time and im sure you will.

But when you punch it, you car will build boost almost instantly from the big stall as compared to mine lagging behind a good bit. Am I thinking correctly here? Thats all I was saying, because I dont know what your RPM's are at a certain MPH.
It just comes down to cars with different characteristics. Like you said, your car was built for 1/4 mile drag racing. Mine was built with no specific goal in mind, other than be daily driven and fast as **** LOL
You have a sweet ***, fast car no doubt, I was never trying to take anything away from you or your car brotha
