Race him from a dig if you wanna fall in love with those 4.10's. The gap you create off th eline will be way too much for him to recover by the time he hits 3rd gear.

Torque converter! You need better shift extensions if it's laying down in 3rd.

I think it depends on your weight and power level. I have 410's and mine is pulling hard till the end of third. I typically gain 24 mph in the last half...only 2mph slower than my mid ten second vette.
