Talking Re: When do you shift

The transitions were smooth & that's what I looked for. But Keith has the inside stuff, he just doesn't share as well as play well with others on the 1320.

Default Re: When do you shift

When I had my big motor in the car I could go on at .001 and shift at .20 and it was consistent. When I put the 467 back in, it seems to struggle sometimes shifting that early and the 60s aren’t consistent. The farther out I move the shift with this motor, the more consistent it seems to get. I think it knocks the breath out of this smaller motor when the air is bad. That’s why I was curious

I messed around with shift points a bit last year and didn't notice any difference in consistency, but I did pick up some MPH shortening the shift from .65 to .30 (first timer is at .15). This was on my S/G TBird which is pretty light at 2465 w/driver and a 600" motor.

I think weight and HP makes a big difference in how early you can get away with shifting

I agree, but will also include hp and weight will determine how early you can turn the stop on.
