Test it out on the road. I set mine up to start in 3rd this last weekend and go into 4th but I forgot to raise the RPM limit so it wouldn't shift into overdrive. Well I ended up hitting overdrive and loosing all my momentum. :mad:

....but also makes it much easier to burn up your converter if you sit on it too long at the starting line. I never did try a second gear start even though I talked about it a lot.
I could see that being a problem. I have to sit a little longer than normal to get boost up because of my tight converter and the trans gets real hot real fast, and thats with a 1st gear launch.

I used a 2nd gear start tune last year. Weahter or not that contributed to be taking 3rd place first time out, I don't know. We'll see what happens tonight as I'll be running it again.
