Default Car runnig like *****!!!...

The best of the evening was a 13.014 @ 105.22 w/ a 1.911 60'. I was running BFG DRs from 20-16 psi by the end of the night. I smoked them for 4-8 seconds, tried different RPMs to stall at between 1000 and 2500. I went 10 times the whole night and 85% of my runs were between 13.0** and 13.1**. ALL with shitty 1.9 sixty foots. Could it just be that GLD isn't hooking?
I did a 1.9 60' with F1s and a 13.18 when the car was pretty stock (only exhaust).
I am just disappointed that I didn't do any better with the convertor and lid. Can anyone see that there is a problem?
If I bring my 60 down to a 1.6, what times should I see.
Whew,
Nick

1.60 60' time should yield somewhere between 12.30 to 12.60 for ballpark. Sounds like a traction problem. If you got a new convertor, might want to consider Hal shocks front and back with Hal drag springs. This combination worked for me and it was the only way I got traction. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I figured it was just shitty GLD.

I was there Tuesday nite, and I only got a best of a 1.60 with all my suspension work.

I would also work on your technique, I think you should hit mid 12's @108 with your combo.

That was another question...
What should I stall it up to and when I go, do I do half throttle, 3/4, or full??
