Different converters react differently. Try stalling it up to about 1500, then stomp on the gas or "flash" the converter on the second yellow light. Also try to footbrake it as high as you can without braking the tires loose. See which nets you the better time. I always had the best luck with foot braking as high as I could. I would invest in a proportioning valve for your brakes. It does wonders.

It allows you to put more braking pressure on just the fronts. This way you can foot brake higher. That's what I used.

I never had that problem. I ran 10.85 on 17" drag radials.

But the valve does help out even with skinnies. When I did have skinnies on the car, I had a small 4000 converter, and it like to be flashed.

I think you mean more pressure on the REAR brakes.

Well, for launching yeah, but you can adjust it to more pressure in the front or rear. You just have to find the sweet spot ya know. Every car is different.
