Coan turbo 350 XLT

I would guess that no one who runs a 350 and has posted here makes the shifts at as high an RPM as Joe. That might have something to do with it. I'm not up on 350's but isn't something stopped and then rotated at engine speed (or a multiple of) when one of the shifts is made? Joe, are you sure the clutch pack is clearanced correctly. Maybe it is Trying to apply before something else releases or it is staying applied when it shouldn't be. Shift timing can be tricky. I know one other V-6 racer that tried the 350 and had problems. According to him his 2.24 ratio 350 wasn't any quicker than his 1.98 P/G.
good luck hope you get it working.
