I doubt it, looked like it hooked to me. get a close up video of the right rear tire at launch.

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.
1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

Hmmmm........ I will try. Getting good video has been a problem. I guess I was looking for the 60 ft time to be lower, given the ET and MPH ? So I guess it is making the ET we have, from the MPH, and not so much the 60 ft time? It doesn't match the estimating programs, very well. Mark
thats because your combo is off, start with the converter. thats what i would do

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?

I am foot braking it and it is NA. I am thinking of spraying it in the near future.

I bet you put a 5600 8" converter in that thing and pick up at least a .10
That would be nice! Are you taking into consideration it is a 727 trans and not a Power Glide? I just thought of something. When I ordered the converter I thought the car was going to be a lot lighter. I scewed the program!

I know that this is probably true, but I am not willing to put the time and money into a converter swap right now. I have some carb and intake combos I want to experiment with, to try and extract more power. Changing the converter means laying on the floor. Changing the carbs and intake I can do standing! I don't do the floor work so well these days.
