What to do to get a quicker launch...

Your making progress. Back the throttle pressure off just a little so you get full throttle. The trans will still work the same but it'll give you more throttle.

That's the problem I've been having, I set up the line pressure with max pressure at WOT to start and that yielded soft shifts and slippy 2-3. Shifts are nice and firm now but the only way to get that was to crank up the line pressure. Any adjustment to it inhibts it's ability to go to WOT now. Make sense?

I've got the Performer plus cam in it, I didn't install the cam myself so I don't know if it was degreed... I asked the guy I bought the motor from (it came in a truck I bought for the motor w/ reciepts for rebuild this past winter, the work was done in the UK and I'm not sure they degreed the cam, I'm tempted to think not...)

In principal a more radical cam, not too much more radical, could help along w/ a higher stall converter. I think the latter is the next step.

This question is rhetorical but: no way to check if the cam is degreed is there?

Thanks Fishy

BTW: what initial timing would you run with this setup? I'm at 10* but should be able to get 12* out of it. I want all my timing in by 3k RPM right? Say 36* tops?

Cheers,
