Quote:only 6 passes with this engine combo,i can't feel it spin 60's all 1.51-52,but when it gets out 100ft it comes alive,at 6500 shifts it went 10.40.
60' should be around 1.39. If traction good and your 60' is consistent the converter is where I would go. Have you done any experimenting with your shift points? I would think that a 6500 shift point would get you down the track quicker.
Quote:I have 14.5x32x15 m/t that would equal changing gears that I can try.
4500 converter 4.10 gear

I have a similar set-up, but my weight is 3330# at the line and 493 CI. I shift at 6400, have 4.10 gear with 29.5 tire...ET10.4x @131. I footbrake and leave at 1500RPM...flash 4500+. Similar 60' times. 
Quote:yes it's hughes cam and their 1.5 rockers.
i agree with most--- 4500 or so stall , and shift it lower = try 6500 . my 493 likes just under 6k !
is that the Hughes cam ??? i have that same one
It should really snap off the line, even with that converter
Quote:
Maybe it's just me but I would be looking more at 5000-5200 on the converter...

How's the timing curve set up? Are you data logging or reading plugs?? At that weight the 60 should be low 1.4 or maybe high 3's

this guy is running my 4000 stall I had in my car and he shifts under 6k just like I use to.
Quote:at this point I haven't really tried any changes,dist is firecore otb,haven't pulled a plug yet,i was racing my other car and just took this one to put some passes on motor.the sr;s are standard port size.i will get a handle on it in the spring,i guess I was thinkin it was going to be way faster than the 440 I pulled out[10.80's@125].
The part that gets me is it wakes up 100 feet out

i'm only leaving at 2200 on the foot brake,its starts pushing with anymore rpm.the 31.5 tire on it now is way shorter than the 32's I had on it.cab,i don't think it's loading up it doesn't bog per say.it almost feels like when you hit passing gear,it pulls that much harder at about 100 feet out.i forgot to take my gopro would been helpful to see what the tach showed.time to put it to bed for winter.
Are the brakes bled good? If so, convertor is not near right. And the 100' take off makes me think the convertor is toast too.
Quote:shawn I made 4 hits through out the day 10.25-19-21-19,i made the last pass at 3:03 as my 63 was picking up et,i had a good time.saw some old friends,my old race car[jeff flocks car]and came home with both cars in one piece.
There was only one good run in the track Saturday that was the first run. Went slower every pass after. Depending on what time you ran it got worse. I read my logger every run. Your setup may be just fine.

Is it loading up do to much accellerator squirter or loading up from the carb.? I've seen similar results with to much squirter, ended up swapping out the rear 50CC pump and pump arm to a 30 CC pump and arm and went down to # 29 or #31 squirters, depending on winter or summer racing
I went from a 1050 carb to a 1020 on one of my cars which had a 1.46 60 foot and went to 1.30 first time out! Nothing else was changed.

Quote:yes it's a new motor 6 passes on it now,i will start tuning on it in the spring if I don't sell it first.Quote:

This looks like something to try in the spring
Is this a new build if so I've seen motors start breaking in with about 15 passes on the combo so maybe more runs will get you what you're looking for
Great job at least you came home with everything together

I agree also, 5000+ custom built converter for your combo, keep your 4.30's, need to get that 60 foot down and the rest of the ET will come down with it.
Nice car and it runs good, you will easily hit 9's as you've only made 6 passes so far.
I also think that a better converter will help you. My junk has had a best of 1.386 60' but usually is in the 1.39 to 1.41 range. It also weighs over 3500# with the driver and has run 10.15 at almost 131 mph. We do need more jet in it. My heads are MW ports and a small roller. Keep looking I know you will find it! Good luck!! Ted
Quote:thanks for the heads up on the converter,but I will have one built for my combo if I keep the car.
There's a 5200 stall 8" ATI in the race parts section for $450 on page 6. Not mine but I thought I'd let you know. I paid over $800 for mine new.
