Based upon your converter, gearing and even how quick your transmission shifts, you determine your slapback rpm..... if thats 2000 rpm for example, you then figure out what 2000 rpm window you make the most average power in and then shift at the high end of that window. In this tests case, the AFR's would be shifted several hundred rpm above the peak simply because it holds its power above the peak much better.... whereas the Darts would more than likely be shifted back down around the HP peak as previously mentioned due to its hard fall above the peak. I think the camelbacks would be shifted above the peak based upon how well it looks like its holding power, but hard to tell, looks like it got shut off a little early. But, its all about experimenting at the track.... which is the fun part ! Wes, I think you're going to like how your vette now runs at the track..... From your baseline, in my opinion, you're going to pick-up over a 1/2 second in et and over 5 mph... maybe even 6 or 7. If you have the right converter in it, I predict very deep 11 second ets. Good Luck at the track ! |
