I will definately be taking mine to the 1320 this year. granted, I am running an IRS, it should still do well with my 3.55 gears. Last year I did a best of 13.8 @ 101 crossing the traps on the rev limiter in 3rd. With the lower redline, I will definately have to shift to 4th now.
I did end up getting some larger cams, I found someone local that wanted to swap for my cranes. Now I have the same setup as most of you... Comp XE270AH. Because I will not be running this engine above 5700 RPM, do you think I would benefit from advancing the cam a couple degrees so I hit peak power before my redline?
