Great job! You're missing a ton of mph. I hope you get the converter issues worked out (or whatever the problem is).

Working on it right now! . I need to get the logs checked out, and I already have a converter lined up if this one is slipping. Then I can just get the restall done and sell it.

Great job....something is very wrong though. You should be hitting at least a 9.90 flat with that kinda hp and weight, and trapping 137-138 mph.

After running your weight and trap speed through a calculator, it seems you're only puttin down around 680 to the tire right now. Get that converter checked out.

Couldn't tell ya, it was mid night drags, no slip. I had to get up to the tower for them to tell me my 60'. I'm going back next weekend so I'll have it on paper then.

Sweet car and badass setup man. You definitely got alot more in it with those power numbers, I would guess you could trap 10mph more and get some low 9s out of it.
