Out in the 90....siamesed plenum ported into the head, cams, headers, blah blah blah you get the picture.
I have always wondered about powershifting and how you can do it at such high RPM; did not seem feasible to execute although we have seen the Rocket and heard stories of minneker
After some messing around, I ran the car up to 7K hammer down, no lift, bounced the clutch off the bottom, while slipping into second.......
WHAM!
Perfect execution, but the bull sent me a subtle reminder that you have to ride for the full 8 seconds......as the clutch engaged there was a violent right to left toss of the back end of the car as the power came back through to the rear wheels; needless to say I was alittle more "awake" than before the run and after that little escapade I am not sure I will try it at the track.
Got to get some projects done so I can get this thing on the dyno; even at $4.80 a gallon it does not get any better than this!
