sorry the dude did that. But you have some good numbers... How's the cam working for yaI do have a lil issue tho...
When i accelerate, the car revs up just a bit and then it catches. Minor slippage. But when im at high speeds, i smash the gas pedal redlines for a second or two and then it goes.
I have a stock trans and torque converter... Will replacing the converter to a 3600 stall fix this problem???
Let me know if you or anyone knows about this.
I do have an Auto 4 speed... Still kicked butt at the track with a 12.9 with a crappy 2.0 60 foot.
I'll upload vids of my 1/4 mile here soon.
First time driving and learning the T/A since the tune and real performance feel.
All input welcome, Please help!

Beat the Terminator on this pass What i Dont understand, is why if i had a slower time, I beat my friends cobra with a faster time...
Remember, both on street tires and horrible 60 footers.

You have a good setup but yea a few tweeks and yourll be flying... I like how you just leave your buddy out the gate. and he is making almost 100 more hp?

Thats how it works... Thanks for the break down
As far as my Tranny slipping, would replacing the torque converter with a stall fix this problem?

assuming your tranny is not going out,just adding the TC alone will knock a few tenths off your ET.but then traction becomes an issue as you will launch a LOT harder.that 3600rpm TC will make it feel like a different car,i promise you.with a good launch you should run low 12s all day long,but will need good tires/suspension to do it.

Unfortunately my tranny took a dump on me, Im getn a rebuit, shift kit, and 2500 stall for just 100 bucks more for now.
I know i wont be satisfied with stall but its a deal for just a hundred bucks more.
Im also looking into LCA to make my ride more efficient on take offs.
