What rear shocks and what setting? In the vid, looks like no rise in back which you should have with that 4-link setting. Looks like rear shocks need the extension loosened.

What is the most travel you can get out of the front end? Rear? I would start full lose, max travel on both ends, with a video looking at the rear from an angle, hopefully including the front tires as well. It looks like the rear hit, stuck for an instant, then spun, so it might be too aggressive at this point, with the front too stiff as well. Any idea of how much stall the converter has , and where is your torque peak?.

Those huge rear tires eat up a lot of steam. Bet it would 60 foot better with way less under it.

It looks like and sounds like it porpoised on the starting line, front and back started to rise and then the back slips back down, try stiffening up the compression, not the extension, on the rear shocks only. Take one of each (front and rear)shocks off and experiment with the settings on a bench so you know which adjustments does what to your shocks One other thing when you jack the car up to remove the shocks, check to make sure you have enough travel on both ends with the suspension fully extended down that the shocks have more travel left in them, not held up tight enough to hold the suspension up
I didn't see or hear that at all sounded more like a tight converter to me.

Its dead hooking and bogging ever so slightly, but you can hear it.
Converter doesn't flash in the slightest.
I disagree, from the Vid, its not dead hooking. Sure, its not the greatest vid.
Its hard to tell by looking at the slick alone, but if you focus on the rim, it spins about a revolution and a half or so. Im assuming the slick is too, hard to see it.
