Hey Jarrod. To me the 1st and 2ndgear acceleration was perfect over stock. Esp the 1-2 shift. It just set you back and didn't stop through the 0-60. Was just my style though. You are correct in 3rd it only pulled maybe a half a car on a stock 4.10 car. But would easily put 2 cars on a stock S off the line. That's alot of useful torque to have on a track powering through the turns at low speeds.
And good luck man the S is a super tricky car to break 13's with. I got a 13.98 @ 99.7mph w/ 2.0 60ft with mine stock and I'm pretty sure Flite got a 13.8 with his back in the day. You don't see many people able to get a 13 out of a stock one. My advice is launch high and feather the throttle don't let it spin below 6k rpm and it will hook and take off. Let it fall too low and it will bog like a SOB and wheel hop pretty bad. I've seen 13's to 15's in stock AP1's lol.
