Yep !!! Island Dragway !! we tried a low first gear set in one of my 904s it didn't make any difference at least in my combo. It leaves well now: I only leave at 2,000 with a 4.30 gear and 4,900 stall 8 inch converter and my 60 fts are 1.58-1.61 deep ( 1.48 - 1.51 shallow ) I had my throttle stop set a little too fast , I should have been set up for 7.20-7.23 which equals 11. 50 .. I will be running 11.50 index in a few weeks. When the motor was on the dyno we tried a 950 and it didn't like it resulting in no real gain in h.p. or tq.
