Ace1252,
I wrote that wrong
I can spin the car up to 65k If I wanted to. I was asking if the track numbers looked OK.

I think he is joking about you writing 63k (which is 63,000rpm). If you can spin the car to 6500rpm then the correct way to write it it 6.5k, not 65k. Thats what he was joking about.

Yeah you should turn it 6,500+ rpms if it's running right. BTW I ran 7.46@94mph 1/8th mi. last track outing with my 226-234@50 custom cam and Lloyds heads with 3.42's in my auto T/A. I shift at 6600rpms. Good luck.

Yep. All you need is some traction. Although your trap speeds to seem a tad low for your combo, which might only be a tuning issue. I ran an 8.4 @85.6mph 1.9x 60ft back when I first put the heads, hotcam and headers on mine, but that was with the 4L60E and stock TC. I'm almost skeered to go to the track now with the M6 for fear of breaking the rear.

I told you all that when it comes to these cars and modding them, it makes a person unable to think straight at times..

I'm going to get new opti from Jason and install it when the LTs go on. If I still have a miss up top, I'll add a MSD 6A. If the miss continues, I'll sell the B%#CH !!!
