    Not at all, on the contrary. This is exactly what I'd hope someone would bring up if they felt there was an issue. Help me understand, what do you mean the converter is the problem? Took everyone's advice and spent a pretty penny on the converter Precision recommended for the setup.

    Boy, 10.2's are long ways from where I'm at. Seems to be running strong, and doesn't seem to be spinning the tires on the launch. Would there be that much left in the suspension and launch technique?

    No, have been reading about that. Will put it on the list to do for sure before we race again, but it's definitely not the cause of the right pull if that's what you were thinking. As mentioned above, it's because the right tire stays in contact with the ground steering the car to the right.

    I looked at that on the big screen trying to figure it out myself, it's actually the driver's side leaf spring. If you watch on a bigger screen, you can see it expose itself as the car loads up.

    Thanks, I'm glad someone caught that. The car is lifting the left tire but it doesn't lift enough to get the right tire off the ground, which is causing it to veer to the right. Then I'm correcting it, which is where the left turn is coming into play. The car seem like it's twisting, but it has...

    505 stroker fresh off the dyno - Power seems low? Thoughs?

    Here is the current discussion thread where I posted a time slip. But it ran a 10.98, still trying to figure stuff out. First launch in new big block cuda - video

    You guys are good at deciphering the time slips. Maybe you can give me some pointers on this one. I'm still trying to figure out the shift pattern, as with the 727 with 392 gears, it seems at one point I hit the rev limiter on the 1st and 2nd shift and then again as I crossed the finish line...

    Thanks for your input. I've had a chance to run the car at the track, so I will be pulling the plugs next. I'll be out of town for a while, but I'll post up picks of the plugs when I get back. Thanks.

    Thanks. I have a lot to learn about setting up shocks. That's completely foreign to me. Looks like a four week wait for them, so I should have time to start studying up!

    The weather finally came around, and gave us a few hours to run the car before rain showed back up. Was able to run the car three times. First two were shake down runs that I shut it down half track. The entire car is new and I had no idea what gremlins lie in waiting. The only video the kid was...

    Going to try for a new tow vehicle

    I have a 2017 2500 with the 6.4, I test drove a handful of them before buying this one with 19000 miles on it. I have 90k on it now. Been a great truck. The trick to a smooth riding 3/4 ton is to get the off road package, it comes with blistine shocks and is night and day difference from a...
