Went again friday nite

1.75 60 ft
4.92 330 ft
7.56@92.47 eighth
11.83@115.07 quarter

I can't get my 60 to come down. I am stalling it up as high as it will go without pushing through the brakes on the footbrake and leaving. It's not spinning. I'm scared to flash the converter with this stock 10-bolt. Ideas?

Well if your worried about the 10 bolt, its time to get a better rear end.

I agree, but I will wait til it breaks. I know lower gears would help me 60 better, but I'm not gonna put $ in this 7.5 inch 10 bolt. Maybe this is the best it will 60 like it sits til I spray it.

Went again last night.... new best.

60..........1.727
330.........4.878
1/8..........7.508@92.84
1/4..........11.754@115.78

I tried stalling the converter on the footbrake on the above pass. I also tried flashing the converter from an idle and went 11.759@115.96....very little change.

i always just bring it up enough to take the slack out of the converter (1200) and it seems to leave the best that way.

slow00gt, a rear end is in the future, but I'm not one to fix it if it ain't broke. I am saving, but it's for a HSW plate kit and some big-n-littles with better drag radials.

blwn 00gt, I will try your way next time. I just feel that I should be 60 footing better than 1.7x. I am not spinning at all. It is dead hooking.

Great times! Looks like it just keeps getting faster!

How do you like that FTI 4k converter? I'm about to move to one and I've heard nothing but great things, I think my car is really gonna rip with it.

Longshot, I like the converter. It is a lot of fun to drive on the street. It is nasty from a kick, but plenty docile just tooling around town. I am learning how to launch it at the track. I only have about 12 passes in the car. I have always raced 5 speeds before.

even tho u don't want to change gears in a ten bolt that's whats really killing u right now. That stall is way to much for those stock gears. Once u put gears in that car say hello to at least 11.5 but other nice combo and nice run

I know you're right. I've been thinkin' bout some GM 3.73's........but I'll probably wait and see what it does on the gas with 3.23's before changing. I pulled about 50 lbs. out to see what it will do....maybe 11.6x? It rained us out Friday, but I'm gonna try it Sunday.
