Re: M-20 with L-78 or L-72 & deep gear -How?
I remember alot of older magazine articles stating that they got the best 1/4 mile ets by revving to about 4000 and starting in 2nd gear. It would cause the engine to fall from the peak torque range there by allowing the tires to hook up. Then the engine would come in to the fat part of the torque curve with the car already hooked and rolling so you wouldn't have to baby it off the line.
