    So..... new best weight 2850
    Pulled a tire off the ground :D
    Took care of "roll through light" problem

    Found stall problem.

    My Proyank 3200 stall was custom made for my mods at the time.... 3:23's.

    Last season with 3:23's I could see 3000-3100 off the line.

    I now have 4:10's (which is the ONLY change) and can only get to 2,600 MAX then the rear tires start spinning.

    I've lost 400-500 rpm's off the line (stall speed) but have maintained N/A times.

    My guess is..... I need a higher stall converter.

    I will contact Yank tech line Monday and speak with them and see what they say.

        I'm not trying to call BS but I just have a hard time believing a car that trapped 94mph can pull a wheel.

                Also.... look at humidity.... ranged from 80-88!!

                Higher humidity = slower car too!

                      nice run...

                      as for lifting a tire, doesn't completely matter about power. I have seen cars that run like 16s, pull a wheel, oyu get technical, my dad's old 13.5 hp riding lawnmower would lift the front wheels when you popped the clutch.

                      Its about weight distribution/transfer, traction, and the "shock" of power off the line, not so much power.

                      Congrats on it...

                      as for you guys and your "race" for weight reduction its nutz
