I know the trap speed was pretty low. On the clean runs my 1-2 shift was ~6300 and my 2-3 was ~6700. I ran twice trying to shift 1-2 at 6700 and missed both times. After missing I got a little slower and cautious to ensure I didn't miss again.
I've been reading some threads on 1-2 shift lockout and getting a list of parts ready to help me shift more consistently at higher rpm's 1-2.
Nice at close to 130 mph!
Your right about the hellcat and Z06. I still love the Shelby's.....
Any reason you say 3.73s and not 4.10s?
If you don't plan on adding crazy power, the 4.10s a better all around combo IMO.
I had both when I just had bolt ons at 750rwhp range and these cars dyno with peaks at 6600rpm range.
3.73s had me trapping at low 6100rpm range and 4.10s where closer to 6500rpm.
It trapped higher with 4.10s and was better around town off boost.
Only way 4.10s are too much is if you want to have 800+rwhp and don't do cams/built lower end.
I now have 960rwhp and still 4.10s but cams and built motor so I want to trap at 7000+ but I'm prob ready to drop down to 3.73/3.90, just need to see what the ET Street R 28x11.5x17s do on datalog. Bias plys like your Hoosiers will grow, do you remember the trap RPM you saw?
Sounds like you have the right plans to improve next outing, probably gears, control arms, MGW shifter.
How do you like the N2MB bow?
Mine is installed but I haven't played with it much, I really want the consistency of 2-step launching and WOT shifting should help too.
Keep us posted.

I have a Hellcat Charger DD (all are Auto) and it takes MUCH more skill to run a Shelby at the track, I can see benefits of both, great to have choices. Our cars would have been absolute killers at track with 6R auto like Coyote cars.
Good fun either way.

OP I was going to PM you but thought guys would want to know--how do you have the N2MB box set up?
Maybe a screen shot?
I'll be doing that soon.
And you'll love the JPC line lock also for track consistency.
Only thing is every line lock I've had used momentary switches, JPC has a regular arming switch. Getting used to it but might be better as I don't have a shift ball with button for the trigger.

This is very true!
I actually have read a lot of threads that you've posted in about 4.10's. I thought 3.73's would be a bit more for all-around driving. I tracked the gt500, but don't have plans for that anymore. Just some highway pulls and dragstrip now. I may go with 4.10's as I don't plan on making too much power. May add some headers and a tb soon just to be fbo. How would the 4.10's be on the highway, say doing some 40-60mph pulls?
I cannot recall the trap rpm, but next time I'll take a look.
I can get a screenshot of the wot box setup once i'm near the car again. I'll post it up for you.
The 2-step is really helpful. From the launch my foot never came off the pedal. I had it WOT all through first gear and it felt great. I've used the nls a lot, but I would need to play around with it more to be confident with it at the drag strip. I feel like i can shift faster without it, and I want to fix the 1-2 shift before using it for speed. I also have not upgraded oil pump gears or anything.
Its fun to use on the highway though. Usually 3-4 using the nls shoots a big fireball
If you want to keep a safe street combo 750-800rwhp and have good octane and stick to 6500rpm shifts, in my opinion 4.10s and be happy. I run 315/35/20 almost 29" street DRs and on street 4.10s are perfect. On highway 80mph is 2000rpm, again perfect. I can guarantee you'd love 4.10s

Great to see another drag guy going hard at it!
Please let me know on N2NB I'd appreciate it.
I'll be mounting the bias ET Rs, did Hoosier recommend a tube? I wondered as these heavy high torque stick cars would like the stiffer sidewall.
Overall did you like the Hoosiers?
ONLY reason I went MT was DOT

After reading on their website I gathered that a tube was not needed for the hoosiers I am using. Before the hoosiers I had the non bias ET street R and it was a good drag radial, but I wanted to launch. Eventually I will have a 15in wheel and MT stiff sidewall slicks but the hoosiers worked really well for me.
Drag radials and a tune are needed. Without the tune clutch protection kills the launch.
