when i had my P.I. 3400, id usually stall it to 2500 and then floor it. 1.49 60' on 12-11-11

with my circle D 5C converter, i usually stall it to 3400-3500rpm and then floor it from there. seems to be the best technique for me.got a 1.46 60' from it on 6-15-12

If the car 60's better by "smacking" the converter off idle, then it's too tight to begin with, seeing as a converter will flash higher than it will foot brake too.

With my 10" edge 3400, I pulled numerous 1.54 60's with a 15-1700rpm launch, pulled a 1.52 by stalling to 1800, and I can foot brake it to 28-2900 easily. Waiting for cool weather and possibly try some 2-2200rpm launches to see if it helps the 60' any more

I have tried doing both several times and it seems to make no difference but the car is more likely to hook if I smack it from idle.

Not that any of my stalls were anywhere near what the average NA car runs but I always seemed to do better with slight throttle input (1k RPMS) and whacking the throttle.

Mine is about the same in the lower rpm range. But if I load up too high it will start to lift the *** of the car which makes it hard to squat once you release the brake....and less chance to hook like mentioned above.

Set no more hitting or bumping on undercarriage I saw where yoke n torque arm wer hiting the floor.hopefully this will help wit my 60ft

How far off was your pinion angle? I get that noise with a passenger over big bumps, my cars lowered though.

4k stall, I leave around 2300-2400. Cuts 1.61 in summer heat. 2500 is little hard to hold at the light.

My PT4400 was the same, the higher I could stall it at the lights the better.

Flashing slows down 60ft by around .05-7...but could help hook on marginal track

If you got teeth on your track stall her as high as the brakes will hold...

1.281 60ft here with h/c na motor at 3k race weight...

Still would like to try and running dual rear calipers to see if I can squeeze a few more .01s ...maybe if I get bored

Holding 3300-3400 with my SS4000 usually gets me around 1.50-1.52 on a good track, 1.54-1.56 on a less than great track.
