Sorry i'm probably not being clear. I was asking if a converter can lock up when going bad causing the bog? I always thought a bad converter would slip instead of lock up.
No I don't, However with the trans brake and the pedal on the floor I have no accelerator pump action on the hit. they have already done their thing during the stage.
After doing a little studying over the weekend I believe whats going on here is it is Dead Hooking the tire. I may need to up my PSI a few and perhaps soften the rear shocks some. We shall see.
I was wondering about the pumps, I'm floorboarding it so I am using all the pump before the hit. I had read it wouldnt matter saint the cart was wide open. I'm not sure what stock jetting is, I think like 71/80 was what came in the carb. Yes I do think more initial timing will help. Wouldnt more...
I will street drive it in the future after I restore it over the winter but for now its a track only car. Initial is 16 but I can't get my total until I get a better timing light. Yes I know I can tape the balancer just haven't done it yet.
Ok just got home. Didn't get to run much tonight so I only managed a few jet changes before my switch running my water pump burnt up. My best was only 13.20 @ 100mph my 60' is killing me (.193). On the trans brake I can stall it up to almost 3000' as soon as a launch it jumps but acts like it...
Trans brake is in, Man its awesome! Hits like a 5mph rear end accident! Heading to the track tonight for some test-N-Tune
Car actually stalls all the way to 3k now!
