ya i don't have a redline on my gauges (new interior) but i do shift it kinda early (right around 5k) mainly because peak hp is made at 4800 and it isn't really worth it to go right to the redline...

also mine isn't the best off the line (due to the 3.55's) vs. yours which has the 3.92s so it would have a little advantage in the beginning

also yeah i do try to shift it really fast (obviously ) but i can only get up to like 25 in first gear, 52 or so in second then i have to shift to 3rd before i hit 60 which does end up taking time...

Yeah the 3:55's don't help any and the elevation doesn't help much either but i bet playmaker can do it quite bit faster with those 3:92s plus he has a LSD which helps in the takeoff. Not sure if you have that bryant

I also **** at 5 because I don't even know where the 4.7 redlines due to having the newer style gauge cluster. Only factory tach I've seen that doesn't have a redline.

dude, my 3.9 does 0-60 in high 9s low 10's if its cool and not humid outside. the elevation must make a big difference.

o yeah nearly a mile and a half up isnt great

wink what rear gears do you have? and also the weight surely doesn't help... with two guys and probably a 100 lbs of bull**** inside, on top of the added weight of the QC

and bpark, i also have an LSD
