Sounds like I need to pin the gate shut on mine. I did an SME rod/piston in my L92 in the LTD, and dropped the c/r to a little over 9:2:1. It went 118 on 18 psi avg @ 3600 lbs w/ an 80e. I haven't had a chance to get it out this year. Your combo gives me hope lol.

118@3600lbs is moving but I like this pin the gate shut talk lol
at 18 psi I’m sure there’s plenty left in it and with rods and pistons I wouldn’t be worried about getting it in early either
good luck with it

It will be a while before i get to try it still doing some wiring and tuning. My next hole up is 3/4" up and my anti drops to 143% no wheelies wanted. What percent were you at when you had the wheelie problem? Strange single adjust 125lb. coilovers. Keep us posted on your outings fun to watch and makes me want to work on mine.

It was the same antisquat as when I did the wheelies, I didn’t have the front end tied down far enough once I limited the front end travel it made the 8.01 pass

I went out Friday night and tried to get some passes in for the year, but the converter didn't like it. I left on about 11psi w/ a straight ramp to 25psi, and it only went a 6.00 @ 115 and 9.4 @ 146, w/ maybe 100 rpm drop on the shift lol. Time to put in my new PTC I guess.

Whoo that’s the tune up, now you just need the converter to hold that power, out of curiosity what did you shift at?

I think I have it set to 6200 and 6500. I have a D3 brake and a 10" PTC lu converter in it now (Cadillac core). I have a 9.5" non lu I'm about to put in. I went 120 in the 1/8 before on about 20psi.

Yea either you have to shift it higher so it can couple harder or it’s time to change the converter. I love the car thow so low with the big wheels looks great 👍🏻
