What rpm are you shifting at? On my 86 I just installed 4.56's and was going to be shifting at around 5800. I'm running a 26's right now, I know I'm going to have to go into 5th but with a 28 I expected to be right at 5800 in 4th.

with 3.08s do you run a 26 tall tire on the bottle? cause with my 4.10s i have to go to a 28 tire because it runs out of gear on 26s

Damn hopefully I'll get my heads back from the machine shop before track season is over, see where I'm going through the traps. I'm not expecting a good time this year I just wanted to get a rough idea of what I can do with the car. I can fit a bigger then 28 in tire in the back, the car is jacked up but I really didn't want to go any bigger because it would make the 4.56's pretty pointless.

So I'm going up to mason dixon dragway on friday (some of you should come too!) with some buddies and I'm just looking for some advice...
How do you launch a stick shift? An auto I understand...but if you're revving the motor and have the clutch in how do you keep the car from rolling?
Around what RPM should I be shifting? 5,000?
Thanks guys!
