Tommy K in NJ had a best 60' of 2.092 with his a/t deuce,
![]() ![]() My best 60' of 2.175 awarded me a 14.508 @ 95.54 mph. My best et is 14.252 @ 98.69. My best mph is 98.92 with a 14.338 et and a 2.353 60'. My best 60' in 3 years was this past year at SCR9 with a 2.227, but my et was still only 14.376 @ 97.70. I'm not sure where to look for improvement into the 13's ![]()

M,
At what RPM do you shift? Those LT-1s love Hi Rev's but most people don't like to let them go where they're happiest. Look at the HP curves on some of the articles published on these engines. Can't say that I blame you; I'd be a little uncomfortable too, but they DO come alive well above 5.5K. ![]()

I try to shift at 6k, however, it seems to take a long time to get up to 6k and my itchy shifter arm might be pulling the next gear b4 6k. I think it take's so long because I have a low launch rpm, 2000-2100 - the 2.175 was with slipping the clutch, but it stunk.

I didn't think that your name, your Deuce and "resale value" were allowed to be used in the same sentence?
