In first gear, my hydraulic roller cammed 540 cid engine revs from 6000 to 7000 rpm in 0.3 sec according to my datalogger. Makes it really important, and almost impossible, to time that shift at 6300 rpm correctly. In fact, I would bet my car, with a bigger big block than most of y'alls, gains revs faster during its 10 sec quarter mile run than most of the small blocks that are owned by participants in this discussion.

I gotta add that this thread has been the most laughable thread in 11 years I have been here. Soooo many assertions of 'fact' and about 'physics' from folks who have no business using either of those terms. Hahaha. Y'all need to listen to Brent and Jerry and Barry, and others in the know a little more and rely less on your antiquated 'generalisms' that you heard from someone in high school and weren't true at the time and certainly are not true now.
