Skip, the Crower rods simply keep me from getting that "pucker factor" when we spin the big 455 up near 6000rpm's, I sleep better at night too!
I've tried shifting at at every rpm between 4800 and 5800. There is less than a tenth to be had between those points, so I simply shift at 5000rpm's for bracket racing. It also give me some room to work during the run, if the car slips a tad on the launch or I don't think my RT was that good. I can "buzz" the engine a bit harder and make sure I get to the end first, not giving my opponent any room to back off the throttle.......Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
