Sorry for the slow reply ...
I was away for an extended weekend and generally just look at "Todays Active Topics" instead of the whole list.
I've got Lou's short stick on the factory Hurst and do not have any problems finding 3rd ....... let's not talk about 4th
The launch is my Achilles Heel as well. Every track and road will present different amounts of traction, and will require different launch rpm's. (On our concrete front drive the tires will break loose in first from a rolling idle start).
