Yes we are leaving on the converter, top bulb bracket racing. Not sure of the % weight but the engine is set back quite a bit. Could try put some weight on the front but I hate to make it heavier. Tried IC at 42 long and 10 high, 47-8.5, 60-9.5 this last one made loose at 1000ft

@ 9 teens and 147 mph it should have mid 1.20's 60' I too agree with a little more gear and the converter will tighten up a little, if you already have the front end limited @ 2" drop then you may want to try lowering the launch RPM as well, if all fails then you will have to add a little weight to the noise, good luck

What style wheelie bars are you running? I also agree w/4.30 . The 2 step will pick you up a 10th on the 60'. Tweety had a 1.34 FB,and a 1.25on the TB.

Ed's a regular super pro racer (and a damn good one at that) at our local track. I cant speak for his exact setup but I believe he's using a transbrake right against the convertor wo a two step.

Post some good launch video, might help us get a better idea what's going on.

[edit] Also a 60+ long IC in a door car is probably going to be way to far out for the average bracket combo/no power adder combo. It was probably loose down track at that IC length from not enough torque/power to keep the tire loaded at that length/leverage.
