Agreed, I always leave on the last yellow light (Sportsman tree VS Pro tree) and usually cut a 0.09-0.05 light. Takes some practice though.

If he was dead hooking, alittle more stall would help, 1.7x 60 ft would result in at least 12.8x second quarter mile.

Dead hooking is awesome with any truck. You are already one HUGE step ahead of the game.

I would spent the time and money having your Yank restalled. If you can, speak with Dave directly. Tell him the weight of your truck, cam specs, gears, etc. I would also find out where the converter is actually flashing to using the instructions I posted earlier. This way Dave has all the facts needed to make the correct adjustments on your converter.

I bet that that converter is set up for 6000+ pound trucks found in late model '99+ 2500 trucks, not your square that prob weighs around 4200 pounds. 2000 pounds can make a HUGE difference where a converter will flash with everything else being EXACTLY the same.

In my personal experience, Yank converters are typically tighter, which is a good thing for street driving, especially on daily drivers.

Although I have only ran a Vigilante with a 4L60e, it was extremely loose on the street, actually more like the word 'Soggy'. Otherwise it was great converter for quarter mile use.

Sounds good, I hear the tires on the 1-2.

Keep us posted. I just put a deposit on a TVS 1900 blower yesterday, hopefully it'll wake up my little 5.3.

Looks like your reaction times are improving, cutting a 0.04 light is about as good as it gets on a Sportsman tree.

Never done 1/8 mile personally, seems like too much of a tease....

Re: my 80 build
 
that was a lucky reactions time its usually a .4, I do like the 1/4 better, next track time will be in the 1/4
had the windows tint limo on the sides and back glass, I might temporary black out all the chrome on the truck to see how it'll look

Looks good, I'd never get away with 5% on the front windows in my city. Planning on 5% for the rear one of these days then maybe 35% or 50% for the fronts (since I have a light tan interior it won't be so bad).

At this point I am saving for a 3200 or 3600 stall converter (haven't decided) since the tall first gear of the 4L80e makes getting outta the hole alittle sluggish for my square.

Awesome vids my friend.

Re: my 80 build
 
thanks larry but all my fun in the truck is now limited since I cant afford it and a social life, so truck will now be driven a lot less and no more drag racing for a wile and already sold the drag radials

Re: my 80 build

Re: my 80 build
 
Too bad you didn't get to run the quarter mile with the drag radials before selling them.
