Roo, I am wanting to start a discussion on gear selection. I suppose this question could fit in other threads as well ? I have changed my 223" FED from an injected SBC to a blown SBC and a lot of questions have come to mind. How does one optimize a starting line ratio? I know trans gearing, convertor/clutch, R & P and tire selection as well as the wheelie bar are the main considerations. Engine location and weight location, I'm sure have to be considered.
I have only considered a "finish line" rpm in determining gear selection and would like to learn more about a start to finish package.
Thanks. George
