Not really concerned about crawling. We are setting it up for road race and trying to build as lite as we can. I would like to be around 2300 lb full of fuel and me in it. Notice where the torque and speed is at 4600 rpm in 2nd gear. I am really concerned about throttle control and 400 rpm later it really gets interesting.

Of the three tracks we've run with a 3600 lb car and 100 hp less, I have not encountered a corner I cannot get thru at 53 mph. It takes 2nd to exit with any real haste and I use it all the time.

Depending on how well we can get it to corner, not sure it will be needed much, but 2nd is anything but foreign.

Work/Time - I expect a rocket -
