OK, long story short. GTX is a dog, punch it from a stop and it will just chirp the tires. I can't feel a hesitate or bog it just doesn't have any power (been this way for years).
Here is what it has:
440 .030 over
forged six pack replacement pistons
old (20 years old) 284/484 cam
ported 906's
Edelbrock RPM manifold w/Holley 750 Advenger carb
~18 inital timing, ~34 total
727 w/340 converter
3.55 suregrip.
I know the cam, car weight, converter, and rear end aren't matched the best but it can't even turn over the tires.
Before I painted the car I could get it to break the tires loose through the gears and only thing I changed was the converter. I took out a stock looking converter and replaced it with the 340 converter thinking it would help.
So, is my setup so miss-matched that I'm screwed or do I just need to go out and buy another converter? I would think that this combo should be able to shred the tires with a stock converter????
