Go into 4th, if your running faster than mid 13s you usually have to go into 4th gear. Do you have spring and retainers in the head to run high RPMs. I would be scared to make good HP and run higher than 8000RPMs on those tiny rods. RPMs in general are harder on rods than HP. What MPH did the DSMLink say? I would think you would have to go into 4th for a little bit, unless your not trapping that high or you have big tires.
