Its cuz your car is slow, sorry but the truth hurts. When racing you Id probably have to let off the gas so you could catch up

you could also look at the model number on the side of the trans

I havent run my car down the 1/4 in well over 10 years. Once I set it up for corners and top speed (hence 3.27 gears), its kinda pointless, even with slicks its breaks em loose.
Last time I ran it - 2.73 gears, stock cat back, dual plane intake and a 600 vacuum secondary carb, I was runnin 13.8/13.9 at 98-102mph. Id imagine now, I'd be down well below that. Drag racing kinda sux, IMO, the faster you go the less you race. And, IMO, going in a straight line takes absolutly NO driving skill.

PS: My trannies blow because the torque multiplication goes on in the trans rather than the rearend and the heat produced at high speeds.

Fixed it for ya!

Good drag racing takes a good amount of kill. RT, launching, shifting, etc. all has to come together perfect. Unlike racing on a track, one mistake in a drag race and its over, there's no time to make up ground. You have several seconds to do everything perfect and one mistake is too many, it's not the straight line that requires skill, even though there are some pretty brutal crashes in drag racing. Nobody ever went over 300mph on a road course.

Haha, funny. Almost as funny as your chart. Man those 87-91 2.3L were beasts, pumpin out 240ft.lbs.
