Ran my 72 at the strip

[Super73]

Couch,

That is light.. I would think mine should be lighter being an LS1/4L80E. Last time I weighed it, it was 3,840 with me in it and a full tank. Since then I lost the front bumper (had a roll pan in the rear) put draglites on it, yanked the heater and swapped back to manual brakes.

Your's is still going to be lighter...

I'm running a 383 stroker and th400 with no heater box.

I'm hoping to get it in the 7's without spray. First I need to find out why the 2-3 shift is hesitating, the aftermarket dipstick is not accurate. When it reads full on this stick it is way overfilled. The pan on it is deeper than any th400 I've seen, it is a stock stamped steel piece. I was told this is a hd version that was put in 3/4 and 1 ton models. I am wondering if the fluid was a little low, would it cause the hesitation? If the fluid was a little high would it foam and cause the hesitation. It is not slipping at all, launches very hard and chirps 2nd but hesitates going to 3rd. Anyone ever had this problem?
