BTW, they were cussing at the end because I wanted to bust off a 6sec pass last night so bad and was soo close, really need a shift light in the car cause Im shifting too early.... Just finished the th350 install and kept the stock shifter....

Looks like some suspension work will get your tire or tires off the ground when you launch the rear of the car doesnt squat to much so theres not alot of weight transfer happening that car needs to squat alot more. Get your self some softer rear shocks such as a drag shock 90 front 10 rear, disconnect your front sway bar, different lower control arms

Its doable, but not practical for racing. Its easy for it to bump past the gear I'm tryng to shift into... I'm gonna get an aftermarket one here soon.
