Stuck in the high 11s

No-no, not OUT of the usable power, just past a lot of usable power. I'm making peak TQ around 3200, (HP doesn't start to taper off until 6300ish) so a 4k might be a tad much is all I'm saying, being that it would place me 800 RPM over where peak TQ starts. I'm thinking what Dad posted below would be a little more optimal at 3200, maybe 3600.
Thanks Dad! I'm thinking you're right on the money suggesting a 3200 stall. I'm letting it rip as hard as it will let me and still hooking hard, so it could def stand a little more RPM on the launch. I'd love to see a low 1.6 out of it at least, and 11.3s. I may go ahead and have it restalled over the winter and find out. Thanks for the input man!
Nice ETs, btw

Looking at a wet kit today actually. Friend of a friend had one for sale I might buy. Just trying to research the timing situation, I don't want to have to ride around on pulled timing when not spraying, so I'm currently trying to research the options.

When you launch your car, the higher the rpm the better in almost every case, especially for a cammed car that can spin high. Go look at the stock internal record thread. Plenty of those cars are running stalls at or above 4k, and their motor won't spin as high as yours.

Yeah, I like the small cam, big converter club myself!! Definately need more converter and more gear. My best #s were with 4.10s and MT 275/50-15 DRs but have since gone to a Moser 12 w/3.73s. That slowed the ET and MPH but DA wasn't as good either!! Will probably go to E-town this Sat. and Atco next Sat., hoping for some better air! DadsZ28 has the right combo, he's been steadily improving over the past several years!! Met him in 11/09 at Atco when I ran my 11.66, I haven't improved, but he has!!! I'd listen to him....keep us posted. See you at the track! Larry

Would also like to know what your mods were and what you're whole slip looked like on the stock cam and 4k stall to see how that set-up compares to mine.

Please elaborate. If I'm at my highest RWTQ at 3300ish, how is stalling up to 4k going to improve my 60'? Serious question, not trying to sound like a know-it-all.

edit..only dyno I have is when it was stock stall and no cut-out fwiw. Looking at that sheet, I am off a bit from my prior post. It does technically peak at 5k RPM, but is at 325-330 RWTQ at 3200 RPM, 340-345 RWTQ at 3500-3600 RPM, and 350ish from 4K to 4800 RPM, then peaks at 5 more RWTQ at 5k RPM, starts to drop off around 5500 RPM.
Actually...

Also, there is more going on in a torque converter than just the stall RPM. Higher stalls also typically have higher torque multiplication and have less RPM drop during shifts. So the benefit goes beyond just getting the RPMs up for the launch.

That is true. Its looking like a bigger stall is what I need to look at. You guys are not the first to tell me this. My tuner is the main one telling me I have enough stall.
Nice 60' man. I may go ahead and just have mine restalled. I ran 11.66 on a 1.67 60', so if I could get down to a 1.61 or even a 1.59 it should put the car into the lower 11s. Really wish a different converter would bring my trap up too.

Yea, IDK either. I'm not going to waste my time restalling it if theres a chance it will disappoint. I'd rather just stay put or drop the loot on a better converter.
