Does anyone think the car will respond better with more launch rpm? I was only launching it at 4000 with a converter that stalls 6200. It is also bouncing when the front end comes down. Can't feel it in the car, but it is obvious on the video. Would more launch RPM possibly help it carry the front out farther, therefore reducing the bounce? Would like to tune at least .03 to .04 out of the 60'.

I would stiffen the rear shock dampening a turn or two. Might be hitting the spring quicker than usual.

What is quicker, the 727 or the glide launching at or around the same? And what does your car weight?

Stiffen extension or compression? 727 has been slightly quicker, but also slightly better air. Car & Driver is 3040 lbs.

Leave around 5400... That is one of my favorite cars on Moparts. Love the stock colors along with the low slung chassis, wheelie bars, and chute! Sounds nice on the video.

I was only launching it at 4000. Going to turn it up a little to where this thing makes power and see what it does.

He better do something My Nitrous kit is looking really good now, just wondering if I will need to use it. He is still too chicken $hi t to go .400 tree against me though.
