The 360 is more than twice the HP and torque of the old 318. Is there anyting I can adjust to imrpove the shift pattern? If so how? ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500

The last stupid question , what modifications did you do to the transmission ? This is a 5.9 Magnum so the intake is an AirGap. I did reuse the 2V carb adapter but I modified the kickdown rod linkage so it would reach the carb in a similar fashion as before. There were no mods made to the transmission because my plan is to swap it out for an OD unit later this year. ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500

I was not moving it enough the right way so then I went the wrong way. Moving it a little more aggressively in the right direction is bringing it in.
