Honestly never heard of doing that but do know a few that shift .50 sec after the hit and then run it out...A little hard on high gear clutch but seems to work for them and most of them still running in the sevens

I've made a couple of passes in the Camaro like that. Stays on the verter a good while but it didn't seem to hurt the tranny any.
This car has a 4:10 gear in it and I've got a 4:88 that I'm thinking about trying. I run a 5:14 in the Camaro with a 32" tire so the 33.5" tires on the digger with the 4:88 might be a decent combo especially with a 1:65 planetary. What I'm trying to do is get the trap RPM up around 8,000. I'm also thinking that what I would loose at the hit with the 1:65s might be made up in high gear with the 88s.
Just thinking out loud and looking for info.
