Combination and driver dependent. If you cant hit the tree you will need more RPM, so if you cant at 3000 go up. If the car has a way tight converter go up, etc etc. Lots of variables. In theory IF the driver can hit the tree it is usually best to leave as low as the combination will tolerate. And that varies greatly from car to car and driver to driver.
Al, hopefully a test day is close in the future to try stuff out. Play back tach didn’t, track was not optimal, found a bald spot, blah, blah, blah. Lowering the engine speed made it quicker but I think because the track was not any good. It got on the bars after lowering the engine speed 600. Driver can hit the tree.
In theory I thought the use of a brake approximated a manual trans. If that is true then doesn’t leaving at a higher engine speed mean a better 60’ as long as the car hooks ?
