Doing it with a 3 speed!......

Hi everybody, like the title says I'm going 10.90 racing with a 3 speed (Turbo 400). I wanted to ask where might you start with timers and shifts if you were to do the same. I haven't used the throttle stop yet. Here is what I have, if it helps. 3500lb car, 540 BBC, 700hp @ flywheel, shfting on time, #1stop air. I haven't had a max et pass yet, so far 10.40's at 128 mph. I think it will go 10.20's???

One of my concerns is once I figure out the relation of shift rpm converted to time how does the TS affect that because now I'm slowing down the time it will take to reach the rpm. Make sense? Or am I simply over thinking that part. Any and all help is appreciated.
