I had that time on drag radials - 15 psi
I would think a 1.5x with a Pro Stock slick wrinkle like that.(which you really don't want)
I agree now - more converter or/and more power. The suspension looks like it's working

the power is there, 400 threw a th-400 is good power. the car is probably heavy and a little more converter should do it.
Wheels went in the 11's no problem with his setup and it was around 400 rwhp

What size converter? I expected to see light under that left front tire the way the tires were wrinkled. I'd like to see that car launch with a 3500 stall. Power is fine. Torque is awesome. 1.6 or better 60's should be all day the way it hooks. That 12.0x would easily be in the 11's with a 1.6 short time.-Fred

yeah that was the first time at the track with this set up
its a 32-3400 converter from hughes ESP
tire pressure was around 15 psi top end was fun
with driver car weighs like 3750-3800 shes a heavy weight
my harlen 2 step isnt working so i was trying to hold it at like 3-3500 rmps and launch on the t-brake and wheni let off the t-brake switch the car jumped and my brain forgot to tell my foot to floor it so in the video you can watch it jump the bog then take off thats why the 60ft is crappy

Is that a full slick, we tend to run full slicks at 10psi with screws, my buddy hits 1.3s all day on a 3,000 launch on the footbrake with 540RWHP
