Ron I shifted my screw blown alcohol dragsters twice in 5.5 seconds without looking at the tach. The 1st shift occurred at .9 tenths of a second into the run at 9800 rpm and I had to try to hit that rpm twice without looking at the tack. You are going too fast and your vision is a blur for the first second of the run to see the tach.

I was within 200-400 rpm after lot's of expensive runs. It you shifted too early you smoke the clutch and too late you break valve springs and hurt rods and bearings. Brutal cars to drive.




Sounds easy enough

Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
