I am at 3600 lbs. though with me in it! Wish I was at your weight!! Have you run the car yet with the brake or is this a brand new combination? Can you give more info about motor,et's and 60 fts.?

I have a 5600 stall and I leave at 5600... no chip... that gives me a 1.19 60' I would like to go to a 6000 conv and start upping the revs to see if that gives me a better 60'.... its all what your chassis can take... why have your torque at 5000+ rpm and leave at 3000......JMO I know alot of guys that the chassis cant do it but they also dont like doing chassis work and just leave it alone

Up until the new BGR mill I always left on the wood with a 5800 stall... Same here. Put a brake in towards the end of the season and started out with the chip at 3000 and kept working up. Was up to 4200 at the end of the season and had the best 60's ever. Converter stalls at 5400 , so I can still try going higher on the 2 step. But it going to have to wait for a few months before I can try it .
