I took my "recently auto swapped" 1g AWD to the dragstrip this weekend and knocked off a couple 10.6@128 runs. I had wired up the inhibitor switch to the solenoids in the Kiggly Manu-Matic method, but didn't hook up the OD switch as I ran out of time and stupidly didn't think I would need it.
My engine combo is not rpm friendly, it's a 16g afterall. It likely makes better power at 5500rpm than it does at 7000rpm. I was coming through the traps at nearly 8000rpm in 3rd gear/stock converter. WAY to high.
My question is: Is the overdrive strong enough on the stock 1g automatic to hold up at the dragstrip? How much rpm drop should I see?
Im trying to judge if I should stick with the 26"x9.5x16" Hooser QTP's or go down to a 24" tire on a 15" wheel (would save a ton of weight, but hurt the gearing)
