I think its in the converter or just not enough ass in general. Tried every possible launch rpm from pushing the car through the lights to leaving from a dead idle. The car is dead hooking and bogging the motor so I'm thinking a looser converter would get the car into the power band quicker. If you listen to the car when I leave you'd swear I shot it out past the 60 ft mark. It comes on that hard. Of course I'm sure the rear suspension needs some adjustments as well. Rear-end is sitting kinda crooked in the car just havent had time to fool with it yet. FWIW my red car 60 ft'd about the same as this un on motor with a nitrous converter but went 1.35's on a 150 shot. I guess its tough to have it both ways...
