Its the 456 gears....From a stop, your engine is into its power band much soonerHome Handyman Forum

he may have a torque converter that is too tight ..
at launch he is under his cam.. (below torque peak)
so you get out quicker.
but at 30 mph..he is on top of his cam...(in a better spot where cam makes power)
and he is able to stay with you.
fwiw.
