Reverse manual valve body questions

All of these post are for your personal set up. Each on is different.
There is no need to down shift. A car nice enough to have a manual valve body can most likely drive from a red light in 3rd gear.
Post # 11 is crazy. If you have a Grinner or a AA valve body in a built BLUE PRINTED transmission the shifting is faster than you!
The reason your transmission pulls the motor down in first gear is some valve bodys apply the band in first gear. This is a good thing. Nice to have the band applied when taking off from a light or at the strip. I may of miss spelled the two brands of valve bodys I mentioned so go with it.
So, back to POST #1. Your last sentence is close. It is NOT tell you make it to the return road. Its tell you stop and get your winning ET slip.
Don't worry your motor will cool. just roll down your window and cool your self.
