I like books. I learned a lot (from not knowing jack to having more than a clue!) using this one.View attachment 1715739086

There is nothing wrong with this book or any other chassis book out there..................But!
I have yet to find one that has more, them one Paragraph, on SS Spring chassis tuning.

Lower front end to allow at least 5" of UP Travel from resting height. (I know it sounds backwards, but it allows you to throw the weight from the front end to the rear faster) Remember this will mess up your front end alignment. (reset your toe after adj and you will be fine). consider an alignment after your satisfied on the ride height.

I don't think you can get a descent and efficient Stall Converter with a "Lock Up" 904. (3500-4000 stall)

Is your stall low because you don't have enough timing in it, or full advance of the timing coming in to slow??

Low first gear help a lot when you have a tall gear.

I had vary little traction issues until i went from a 2800 stall to a 4200.

408/727/4.56 gears 28/10.0/15 M/T Slick.
Yes, SS Spring, Torsion bar suspension on a 3800 pound car.

Now let me ask you a question.
When you stall it up to 2000 rpm.......is it loading the rear end? Do you feel the rear end start to rise?? If so try leaving at a lower rpm (If its slipping of the line) and see if you get a better 60" time.
