Dual quads versus big hammer!!!...

At what speed? IF your at 1800 rpms in 1st or 2nd it should take off. If you are at 1800 rpm's in 4th gear and mash it, you are making it more difficult but I still believe it shouldn't cough and do a major "cut-out", but it may be hesitant.
Physically the higher the gear the higher the hesitant... I'm also under the timing curve at 1800 RPMs as well...
