Traps @ 7100. The guy i sold it to put a 557 and it seemed to run as good ,(so he says) and lower finish line rpm's. I shifted mine @ 6400 and that's were it was HAPPY. Also ran 28x9 's for the 1/8. The 614 gave me a little better reaction time on the tree. I have a nova with this same combo and it has a 538 gear and a 202 low gear. still tinkering with converters now and so far i have run 12.25 @ 108 & 7.69 1/8 @ 88 mph.No way competitive as the wagon was as far as heads -up goes.
