You'll have to play around w/ the launch rpm just try and find the sweet spot where it doesnt spin or bog the motor down.And im assuming you're
racing at action "in terre haute" which the last time i was there hooked halfway good.I'd srtart of fat a grand then work your way up or down from there..ANd on the shift points i'd go for 6000
