If you can get a car to 60 foot, the rest is all downhill. Start there, because the race does.

Sort of what I was thinking. That 60 is soft for the motor and gear , the e.t. and basically every other parameter that applies here. Even foot braking , I'd expect a 1.4 ish number.

Long story short,,,,,,,,MSD says +/- 15% is ok.............not in my book!! I hope it's not the same when you program timing with their programmable products!
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

Lunati -Solid Roller part #53709 4800 - 8000 .738"/.738" 282/282 336/336 106/104 .022"/.024"
Tryin to make it to Mopar Madness at NED Saturday to put in sum more runs... If you get a chance sometime, with the motor warmed up...... do a compression test on a couple cyls. See what you get in 4 pumps, and then as many as it takes for the needle to stop climbing. That cam has a lot of seat timing....... I’d be running 5500-6000 stall.

For a sort of comparison my e-body is 3350 race weight. 500",727,4.10,29.5 tire. My 60' usually anywhere around 1.29-1.30 with a best of 1.27 (which I think was a fluke) my mph is 139-140 with a best of 142. At 3150 race weight is this a glass/back half car? 3150lb with me in car and I weigh 210lb Car is back-halfed ladder bar...glass fenders, hood and rear decklid...gutted with lexan I will up the MSD 7AL-3 RPM Limit to an 8000 RPM module for this weekends tests...

Going to an 8000 RPM Chip for testing...but I did order 7300-7500-7700-7900 chips and will work my way up.

If you have the dyno sheets then you should already have the answer to your question. If peak power was 6600 RPM then not much reason to turn more than that unless you're racing in a competitive class and you're trying to wring the last bit out of the run.

As long as it has enough spring, with the cam you have......... I’m sure the motor would feel like it’s pulling fine to 7500 or so.

It might be the dyno side coming out of most of you guys but this isn’t a top end issue. The thing is a turd in the first 60 foot to probably the 330 foot mark and until he addresses that with a better converter or chassis tuning will never run like it should. Get that sucker in the 1.35 area or hopefully better and his face will scream excitement.

It might not be making a lot of power but an engine like that will just sing for as long as you hold the pedal down. I've done that with a few engines where it just sings in the lights and I think I'm going fast but then when you look at the data you see that you aren't. Once the engine leans over there isn't much point in continuing to whip it even if it sounds good.

I tell all the new racers I help to move the shift lever when it quits pulling hard. I've seen electric tach not read correctly and be off as much as 1000 RPM when ran with a good mechanical tach in the car Look at the time slip and write every change down so you can look at the results later away from the track to learn as much as you can from each run and day at the track My current S/P car picked up 2.4 MPH in the 1/4 mile by raising the shift RPM from 7000 RPM to 7300 RPM at Woodburn in July. It had ran a 8.862 at 148. MPH on the second time trial run, I raised the shift RPM from 7000 RPM to 7300 RPM and the car ran 8.864 ET at 150. MPH on the next time trail run 1 hour later. I have a three step on the MSD 7AL2 box, the car also has a Biondo 400 box in it to run the throttle stop and shifter, I shift it off of RPM instead of time. It will play back the last run if I hit the line lock button just before I start the run. I've seen a 200 RPM difference on the shift playback from the RPM chips in the three step also IHTHs
