What gear for burnout with 727
The GV is meant to shift like a auto, only if you have it in over and do your burn out. The GV pump will have to pump up before it will shift in.
I don't understand what this means.
As soon as the driveshaft has spun a few revolutions, the GV has enough pressure to pull a shift. So if starting in second, the GV will have almost instant pressure.Certainly before you hit redline. It may already have enough pressure, just from advancing into the burn-out box.
And it can/will retain it's in-gear status through an entire stoplight change.I drive the snot outta that thing.
It only requires care when downshifting. At this time GV says not to be putting power through it. No problem in dragracing, right.
Mines over 10 years old. I had to rebuild it once, due to leaving it engaged while reversing. GV would not sell me the tools to safely take it apart,myself.
"Why not just start in 2nt and then shift the GV into over. Just have to turn the GV back off before you launch! LOL" .............This part I understand. Yeah,
turn it off, before backing up! That's why I recommended the reverse interlock.
I use it as a splitter, between gears, in my 833. It brings my shift-rpm down, between 200 and 300: and allows my little 367 to stay on a tight powerband, of 1400rpm, versus nearly 2000 required without it.This puts down more average horsepower during a run,and in terms of trapping MPH, I believe it's worth at the minimum, one cam size.
Alrighty enough BS.
