Still liking the converter? It might have liked the 21whp extra....the more torque and power you throw at it, the more it stalls...

I found out that its better to foot brake it around 2,000 rpm, floor it, and let the converter flash and do its thing. I have been trying to foot brake on the verge of spinning the tires at about 3,000 rpms and launching. That does not help me. Foot braking to about 2,000 and letting do its thing is the way to go..Damn now I want to race again knowing that taht is the right way to launch it..

Congrats!
It's amazing what differences tires-alone can do. And then, technique at the line. A few experiments and passes, and you'll be making faster times yet!

All this time I have not been heating up the Nitto's enough..The one time I do, thanks to Steve for the insight and lining me up in the groove, it dead hooks and I run what I ran. Knowing what I know now, I know it has a mid 11 in it in its current street trim..
