I move this here to get more action. I am not
sure about a covert running on the DOPE but for N/A, a 4000 stall would rock on the street/drag strip.

4400 stall converter with good traction and 150 shot will get you very low 12's

Should get him lower than 12's there is a guy on a different site that is in the 11's. With completly stock besides lid and programming and running 150. Just has to be tuned right , 4400 is high if you are going to drive it on the street.

4400 is way to high of a stall for nitrous on your car you will be giving away to much power , you want the stall to be tighter with less slipage , I would not go much higher than 3500 with what you are running.

I'd say 4000 at the most on nitrous. Keep in mind that unless you get a more sticky tire then it will hurt your 60'.

and going about 1/4 down then putting slowing down to full about at 3k where my Nos kicks in from 3k to 5700. Any idea on how i can impove on these times. Still no Exuast work done that would Help but a conver will make me spin even more The tires i ran Are BF Drag Radials

What tires? You need an E/T street atleast. Hold the rpms around 1200 then on the third amber floor it. Flash and smash... Start in first gear. As soon as you launch push it to 2nd then third. Don't hold the gears or you'll bounce the limiter. Oh, and give me your address so I can send you the bill.
