Well just an update on this racing season. For our last race i bought and installed a new 4200 stall converter
yup that got me in to the 7s! I have been trying to do this for the last 2 years. no more 8.0x best was a 7.86@97mph
my 60" drop from the mid1.8s to a 1.707 and i gain .5 mile mph. What was the most amazed was my top of track rpm. i ran fast, and the more efficient converter dropped from 5800 to 5500 rpm at the finish line.
This is a grate converter!!!!
What was not so good was when the track started to loose it bit(with never affected me before) i started to slip or spin of the line.
only made two round but was happy with the performance of my car.
Wanted to figure out if there was something that i could do to the suspension, or if i just had to go too a bigger tire.
When out to the track the next weekend and stuck the Gopro to my gas tank to see what my suspension was doing.
Spent all day trying all kinds of different techniques to get it to launch without spinning. Nothing worked and in the end it launched the best, the way i have been doing it all along Stall to 2200 rpm and stab it from there.
Frustrated, i loaded up my car and when home.
download my video and......well i learn a lot!!!!!!!
my 25 Plus year old SS Springs are wasted! My front segment of the leaf spring is folding up like a pretzel.....well not quit but there junk.
Time for a fresh set!
The first two are in the car then i put it under the car.
In the last in car video watch the shift light as i shift into 2nt. Do you see the shift light come back one. knocked the tire loose and hit the shift light. had to lift
For some reason the video start about 2/3 the way thru. You have to click at the start to see them all. but you can see what's going on with the short version.
