I've ordered myself an FTI converter, based on their recommendations an SRL series 4000rpm hard hit.

I could perhaps try giving it a little more ignition timing on my next runs too, I should be safe where I am, so I'll increase it 1 deg at a time and see if there's any improvement in trap speed.

The car was completely dead for 300' until the rpm got up into the cam power band - I should have expected that really.

With any luck my new converter will knock a good chunk of time off my ET and also bring my speed up a few MPH.

Oh and BTW... I'm a girl - the sort you parent's warned you about and every guys worst nightmare

A better converter will help. Didn't realize you were a girl, that is awesome. I love the car, my first car was a 79 camaro.

The new converter will help tremendously. That 60ft is killing your et. It's awesome that you are a girl and doing all of this. Very nice car!
