104 didn't do the trick?

No, its more then that. There's no knocking or anything. Car ran good as far as no mechanical problem. Can't hook at all last night. Burn the **** out of the tire, just not hooking. Those Nitto DR sucks, I"m convinced of that now. But looks like yall are right about a stall kit. Just can't get the rev up high enough to launch good.
I know, its an auto and only so much it will do. But 9.2 on the first run and just keep running a 9.4 all night. Oh well, just have to keep trying.

How do you launch? Sometimes loading the car by revving it as high as you can before it moves isn't the best way. You have a low stall from the factory, so in order to get the converter to flash you would have to just mash the throttle from idle. The car may take off quicker than the way I've seen you launch.

If you haven't already tried that, give it a try next time out. :)

Post your slip stats from the first run.

Awesome! Looks like Eric is hitting 7's with some consistency now. Anti-roll bar would probably get you a 7.7 E.T.

What were the outside air temps last night?

I can only rev up to around 1500 rpm before the car wants to go. But I mesh it on the green. But I threw all my time slip away because I was so disgusted.

Next time out do not rev it up at all. Just get staged and let it idle. On the last yellow mash the throttle! I'm willing to bet your times will improve.

If it hooks that is. :)


Next time you drive it play with it from a dead stop and see which method gives you more seat of the pants.

I'll try that next time. I'm willing to try anything to get an improvement. Thanks.

Within an hour. I only took like 30-40 vids. This is my first time taking vids too, so excuse my amatuer photography. Next Time I'll do a lot better.
