It sounded like the converter was way too tight.

Awesome video man. We need more dig racing in our area. Everyone just builds there cars to hell and roll races. Your ride would be REALLY quick with some heads.

On that 1-2 shift problem, is your trans built? the guy that just built my trans must of did something nuts because even smashing it from idle and blowing the tires up it will never hit the limiter.
