Getting that 60 down will help a lot. You've got the MPH for a 10.3-10.4 pass if you can hit a low 1.5 60'.

Yeah the 60' has been the only issue, it was in the mid 1.6's but now atleast it's in the 1.5's. I would love to get in the low 1.5's on the stock converter, if it's possible. Our good da is pretty much over til fall so I will likely make a few changes between now and then and see if it helps any.

It's beyond possible and your setup cam definitely do it.

I've done 1.50-1.52 60s consistently (15-20 passes) , on both 275/50 and 275/60 MT DRs on stock converter. This was with the old Roush style TVS and an 82mm pulley on 3900lbs race weight.

Hell one time I mistakenly launched in third and still had like a 1.65 60. This has been at two different tracks across the country (FL and WA) so it's not just a one time deal.

That's awesome! Right now I'm running the 85mm and K springs. The plan is to go to a 82mm, add some BMR drag springs, and drop a little weight and see if that improves the 60' and overall et. I've mistakenly launched in 2nd a couple times, I just quit as soon as I realized it lol.

The spring might be hurting you, mine is 100% stock suspension.

Yeah the springs I currently have are not ideal but the car does seem to be hooking pretty good, I hope the 82mm pulley will help get it rolling a little better.

Car is cooking for sure!

The key to a good sixty foot with the stock converter is the smaller pulley.

I say 79mm and let it eat!

I have a 82mm pulley ready to go on and another part on the way that should help. Hopefully I can get the items installed, get a tune, and hit the track to see the results in the next couple weeks.

Got a new best for 93 octane at NMRA True Street in Bowling Green, da was +2200. This was only the second time out with the new converter so it still needs a little dialing in and with the pro tree and not wanting to sit at the line forever I really didn't play with the launch much, basically stalled it to around 1500 and let it go lol. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the et and mph considering the boost and fuel. I plan on adding some ms109 when the weather is more favorable for a better pass.





For comparison, here's a side by side of the best the car has gone on race fuel (stock converter) vs 93 octane. The da was pretty close for bother passes.

Mine didn't go much faster on race fuel either even on the same pulley. Can't touch your 60' though. Nice pass

With the stock converter and 93 octane mine went 10.80 in +1700 da and on race fuel it went 10.70 in +2600ish da.

Nice run. I still think the results aren't in strong favor of the swap yet, but with more passes you may get better data.
