I can help with getting rid of the defuel if you would like. I say start in 3rd and up the rpm limit of the shift to about 3800 rpms so it stays ontop of the charger.

I never had a prob snuffin my s363.. It lugged like a stock one.. Up them rpms to bout 4500.. Let er hunt. As for pulling in 3rd... That's a thing of the past in work stock.. If ur gonna run up front your gonna need ground speed.. But with stock gearing its tuff unless your 750+ hp..

you can get lock up with a 6 speed.. not with a 5 speed... on hard tracks its worth doing...

How did you you lock in 1st gear? I thought I remember a few old drag racing logs where mine did. But I called fleece performance and asked them and they said its impossible, I don't know who I spoke with though.

I don't see how his can but fleeces can't. Otherwise that woulda been a big sales advertisement lol. That guy there I talked to must have been mistaken

mines a zf6 I pulled in 4 lo fourth. which is 1.30:1,
and it was free revy and I actually quit spinning til the end of the track.
I did fifth in 4 lo last time which is 1:1 and It had way more load and pulled a lot harder all the way down the track.

did you have more ground speed or pull further in 5th? I always pull in 4th and have thought about trying 5th but haven't yet
