I show the driver where he has dropped off of the power and he complains about having to shift up here or down there and so on. We may then change rear end ratios to get him out of a shift in a fast turn or such. He is attempting to stay above 8,000 RPM. Max power is at 9,400 RPM and shifts are at 9,600 RPM. HP at 8,000 is 223 to 225. Max power is 244 to 245 HP at 9,400 RPM. Lynn E. Hanover
