Something In my #5 Cylinder?

This may not apply to the OPs situation but I have to wonder about the idea that because I launch at 3000 rpms I donthave to worry about the timing at 2000.
The engine may be at 3000 on the line but once you launch it will drop some and have to climb back to the 3000. So the timing below 3000 really does count even if it only momentary. .... a 4 speed is even worse.
