I think I've finally got the right converter in the Rocky, it's an 8" A-1 that I bought from MShred) that stalls around 5200 and hits right off the line....but now the wheelies are back.

When I had the 4k stall 9 1/2" and it wheel standed I just started adding some useful weight ( a remote filter and an oil cooler) combined with new OEM shocks and it would then hike the wheels only about 8" and carry them the first 10-12 feet. The new vert launches much harder but the tires dead hook and starts to lift the wheels much harder, with such a short wheelbase it doesn't give you much margin to work with as the angle it comes up is a bit more extreme.

I'm thinking I can extend the rebound snubbers to limit the free travel to give the nose a bit less momentum before it has to lift the unsprung weight of the suspension, does that sound like the best place to start? I'd rather try that before adding weight but I may have to do both.

Here's a short clip which was my first real test hit with the converter and new valvetrain ( springs, pro magnum rockers and MRL lifters)

Any advice would be appreciated, I could have easily flipped it over if I wound it out in low, I thought about hitting second ( would have if I had a RMVB instead of a FMVB) but even that can be a crap shoot with this kind of traction.

I thought about adding air pressure to the rear tires but they were already at 18psi, the M/T pro drag radials hook really well.

Thanks
