It has, Usually ricers...They roll along side and blip the throttle trying to get me to take the bait, I do a burnout at 40mph and they suddenly don't want to roll beside me anymore.

I think in this case it would be an "intimidation spin" to scare off the easily intimidated.

It doesn't hook with around 580whp but it's plenty fast if control the throttle, I know there are quite a few in town that are faster but I don't come across them often.

Having trouble with mine. My converter won’t bolt into my flywheel. I have a old sbc converter/th400. I have the adapter for the crank not sure if I need a different flywheel.

Not sure what exactly you are referring to, but the last 700r4 I put behind a LS1 I elongated the converter holes in the LS1 flex plate
so the 700 converter would bolt up, used the crank adapter, no problems at all, no vibrations, nothing. Im sure if there has
been a problem I would have heard about it by now. 2 1/2 years now.

Made it to FL2K. Got a few passes in, the best pass was 11.9 @118 . I need to find a way to get my 60ft down. I’m consistent around 1.8-1.9 ... I have a 370 gear, Caltracs, da Vikings rear, 90/10 up front with Moroso trick springs. I understand I am super limited since my cam and converter are made for nitrous. Pretty happy with the results, but I want to improve! Any advice?
