From what i can tell the car is bogging out of the hole and its picking the front end up too easily. Looks like if it did not bog it would do a crazy wheel stand. If you can log it and see what the rpm's are dropping to when it comes out of the hole, i would do that.

If it were mine I would stiffen up the rebound on the front shocks and possibly have the converter loosened up. I didn't see what it stalled at.

Went down the track over the weekend. I ended up getting a cut in the tube on one of the slicks so i had to try out my drag radials goodyear 295/55/15. The best 60ft was 1.501 but only got 3 runs so have to try another day.

Ageed, you can tell the car doesn't come alive till later on. I'd try more gear and tighten up the front shocks.
