That has been my understanding. Get the band applied more aggressively. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Everything I've done in recent years has been race units, Accumulator is made non-functional.

Years ago, we would do that on our hopped up street cars. With the manual Cheetah VBs, blocked accumulators and the ever present overlap, it could be obnoxious just cruising around..


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
