To get a better 60ft I think you need a lower gear and or more stall. My D50 weights the same as yours with a pump gas small block and my best 60 has been a 1.33. It is 1.34 most of the time. Mine is stock leaf springs and home made caltrak bars, 4.56 gears , 5400 8 in.PTC convertor and 315/60 M/T Drag Radials.
I had PTC build the converter for the car. They had all the specs. I guess either they set it up for 1/4 mile, or the fact that I said street/ strip changed the plan. I thought it was a 4500 converter until I called them last week for a recommendation on launch RPM. When he looked at my order he said 3500-4000. I agree it could use more gear probably higher stall, but the engine is "mild" and probably making good torque at 4,000!?!? Does your D50 have a trans brake? Do you spray it at launch?
