duster408 OP member D Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 96	My friend has a 73 Dart Sport with a 650HP 440. It will not stay up on the tires at the launch. It hits the tires and goes 3 feet and spins. It currently has a 456 rear gear, powerglide and 3600 stall converter. The car weighs 2900 lbs. Any thoughts on more rear gear, more stall, or 727? Thanks.
