Well,,, made the drive & I am about 99% sure the sprag in the Converter is broken,but I could be wrong, when leaving the car felt like it was in 3rd gear & at about 20 feet out the car would start pulling hard, 1.727 60 ft, no spinning, 11.21 @123.2 1700 da, looking at the data log it flashed to 3500 at the leave, normal has been 4800. & even normal driving the car feels sluggish & the cruise rpm is up by about 250 rpm, still had a great time & the weather was nice, so now I am done until I can fix it & also have to wait for fall weather, Summer is now here starting next week, Thanks to everyone for the input & keeping up with my silly drag racing efforts. converter was $1300, I think I know how it broke, I hit it hard on a slick street & it spun hard & it bit & I lifted, same as when the trans sprag gets wadded up.

Well I made a mistake, I dropped the Trans pan & it was clean but the fluid & filter needed changed, about 5k miles on it & it seemed very thin, with that done it tightened the converter stall a little, after my last passes at the track i could not find my on track data logs on my computer, well I recently found them, here is what I did wrong, I had installed longer runners & driving on the street it felt great, but it would spin the tires A LOT, so when I went to the track it would hook GREAT, & now the computer efi, was using fuel map cells that it had never used on the street because of tire spin, so at about 20' out it went VERY lean over 22 to 1 AFR to about the 60', USER ERROR LOL, I had all those fuel map cells limited to only adding 10% more fuel & it need more like 30 % in those cells, with that all said I have NOW changed the gear from 3.54 to a 4.10, am going to try & go to the track August 15, they will be running at night, so hopefully I can deal with the heat, looking at last year in August the DA was 3000ft, you can see, the left & right o2 sensors followed the TPS all the way off the screen lean. it was so lean it didnt hurt the motor.

Charlie...... sounds like not having that “10” under your belt has been nagging away at you. Hopefully the tune and the gears will get you there.

You THINK LOL , its all I live for :), its funny how that happens even for an old man like me, when I 1st started this project I thought, if it runs High 11's thats all I will need I will be happy with that, its just a street car, well when you run an 11.04 whatcha gonna do LMBO, last time out with the bad tune it ran 123. mph 1700ft DA, I will keep Y'all posted , also this new gear REALLY tightened up the converter just driving around slow.

also this new gear REALLY tightened up the converter just driving around slow. You might want to do the high gear rolling stall test. It might actually have a converter issue. The flash stall would hardly be affected at all by that test. So....... it should basically be the same as it was before when tested that way.

I pulled over to take a picture,, 10,000 miles on this since I put it all together, One engine refresh @ the 5k mark for a bad camshaft & tool steel lifter combination, now a Hydro Roller, so now 5k on this set up, so far so good, just drained the oil & filter change looks very good, clean filter & it had 1kmiles of use.

Even in Chicago it's hot and my black Charger was also telling me that at every stop light today watchin the temp gauge rise! Luckily it cools back down when moving.

4900 should work fine.
Maybe try it a few more times if you can before going to the track to give the EFI more time to learn it? (I don’t know if that’s how it works or not)

(I don’t know if that’s how it works or not) Yes that is what it does, you are correct I need to drive it & load it up. with this 4.1 gear on the street it does not BLOW the tires off as bad, they still spin but more controlled, you can see on the 2nd Data log when I nailed it in 1st gear the rpm went 6k The red line just for .5 second & then the car hooked & the rpm came down to 5100 ish.

Well it was time to replace the MT Street R Drag Radials, 6k miles on them & they had become egg shaped, I guess I should have been lifting the rear when parked in the garage, especially after a long drive in the summer when they get VERY hot, I went with the same 325-50-15 but in the Hoosier brand DR, they seem VERY soft to the fingernail, so now waiting on a cool weather Track rental day, it is still pretty warm [HOT] here in Southeast Texas, so the next time out will be testing the new 4.10 gears,, it had 3.54 & the new Hoosier's.

I also made a rear upper shock x member change, I bought a upper from RMS, that they use with the Street lynx 4 link set up, it is made to go in front of the Diff, I ordered mine without the upper arm welded tabs, turn it around backwards & install it in between the factory x member & it stands the shocks up more vertical. I had to remove my tail pipes for clearance, will have to do some modifications to the pipes , but will run with dumps for now, it is surprisingly quiet without them
