My first kill!(a police cruiser!:)

[rinne_jason@hotmail.com (Jason Rinne)]

Robbie,

Good to see someone draggin the old fashioned way.
Not that I CONDONE street racing! :-)
Don't sweat the 4500 rpm short shift, your torque
peaks around 3000 and your hp around 5500. Anything
over that is a waste unless you've got a hot cam to
take advantage if it.

Later,
Jason Rinne
