Will,
Traction is a problem when I launch with the engine already spooled
up....I'm going to buy Sam South's Slicks... It was warmer last night than
the time before, and the track was better last night also...
How much are those Viper converters? I was shifting around 5500 to
5800rpm...
I think I've determined that the cam is degreed too advanced... I need to
find out how much it's going to cost me to get it adjusted.... as I've don't
have all that much extra money right now...
Any advice?
Thanks,
Tom "Slick"

Tom,
Do you have traction problems coming off the line? Your 60 ft times vary by
at least 1/10th. Also, what was the air temp at this run and the others
that
you are comparing it to? A difference of 10 degrees makes a BIG difference
in power. Also, the shorter runners will make you loose a little low end,
which can account for the weird 1/8 vs 1/4 times and mph. I would stick
with
the MP computer, think about some 3.92 gears with a posi or a locker. Also
look into the Viper tq converter or you could have one made for you probably
a little cheaper. Also, see about getting some nice and sticky tires out
back and launching above 2000 rpms if possible. If you need some slicks, I
can loan you my N50's. lol They might stick out a little bit though. ;o)
Also, since you shortened the runners, what rpm are you shifting at? You
want to shift as high as possible since the shorter runners help the top end
out a good bit. HTH
Will
p.s. Thank goodness I spell checked this one!!! LMAO
