OK guys thanks for the replies.....
I think it may have been coincidence that I was in OD the runs it stuck....I hot lapped (kinda but not really) the other two runs where it stuck.......
They are 26" but they are a little bit bigger, they stand about an inch taller than my 17s and I figure with the weight of the car on the ETs it goes to about a half an inch.....
I think I am going to change my fluid since it has been about 12k miles. I have only had the converter for 3,000 of those.....
Again thanks for the replies, I will tray a different track strategy when letting it cool, and look into a trany temp gauge...

somethings wrong with either the tune, or the trans.

yeah I know my low 3400rpm stall is nothing compared to what most f-body guys run but then again I don't own an F-body.
But I do agree it's the trans or the tune.

i dont know if i agree with all that of not leaving it in od, b/c i ran a best of 13.333 with od on and i ran a 13.47 with it in d, so to me i think im leavin it in drive. it shifts fine but it does feel slow out of the hole, but i think thats b/c it needs gears and a stall
