Are you 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile racing?
Where are you shifting it at? What motor combination, B,RB,SB or?
How big, width and diameter are the rear tires.
I use to help a friend drag race a 1970 340 Duster 4 speed car, 12x30x15 inch slicks,5.57 rear gear ratio, 3.09 first gear with stock early A body NP 833 tranny gears
It would dead hook in a mud puddle in a rain storm

,You were really busy the first 300 ft.in that car, it would cross the finish line around 7000 RPM in the 1/4 mile, no 1/8 mile racing back then
