Looks good.

I think the converter is at least 1000 to tight. I would try to get it 6400 and shift at 7500 thru the traps over that.

What weight. If 3000 it should go 9's but the converter will be holding it back.

Converter is at the shop as we speak. Im sure its gonna end up higher then what I thought, After dyno Im thinking the same as you.
Car is only 2750 with me in it. Maybe 2800 with new setup. Should make for an easy 9s
