I'm wondering if it's the modified intake that has caused me to lose a
little bottom end...had the runners shorted by Jon Smith...
traction is a problem when I launch from 2000+rpm..... but, I didn't launch
it like that...actually launched from just above idle...
She doesn't seem to have the low end torque that she used to have.. I am
going to try a few other things, too....
I did compare the runs from my last two outings to my all time best run in
my Dakota... the only thing that I've actually gotten faster on, was the 1/4
mph...only by .13mph... here is the rundown..
60' : -0.172
330 : -0.336
1/8 : -0.401
mph : -0.260
1000: -0.404
1/4 : -0.428
mph : +0.130
Anyone think that trying the stock computer again (instead of the MP
computer) might make a difference...
Bernd, the torque converter is factory... I do think a higher stall
converter should help ...and a shift kit... she's got 3.55 gears...
Later,
Tom "Slick"

For one, you need to do something about traction. Also, you said you have
bumped the timing since last time and no gains but what are the differences
in track conditions? For that 1/4 ET your 1/8 seems a little slow I think
which would mean your bottom end is off.
