Not sure how you get it that high. especially with the IC that short. Even if the car sits high, the chassis brackets need to be installed to get the geometry right. On a backhalf car that sits high, Super Stock car, etc, the bottom of the chassis bracket will be hanging lower than the frame rail typically.

His graph looks like the housing brackets are up to date, but the chassis brackets are high in the car. Bottom hole of the chassis bracket should be ~ 8" from the ground. Maybe less depending on the design. If the bottom bar is level, the height of the IC is the height of the bar, regardless where the top bar is. I'd like to see what bottom hole on the chassis, next to bottom hole on the housing does to the bottom bar.

Did you get the converter fixed? Drive to the stripe under power?

It goes that high leaving at 1,500 rpm with the foot brake. It runs the fastest leaving about 2,500 rpm. It was leaving higher in the air until I killed some hook with the shocks. And yes this converter is the best the car has ever had. And yes I drove it to the stripe. It ran a 6.23 @112mph leaving soft. The main thing I noticed was that after a run the tires had a much rougher texture that with the other setting. When it was breaking loose on the big end, the tires were a lot smoother after a run, so it appears to be pulling against the track harder.
