Caltracs work from what I hear...if you want to use traction devices they would be a good choice...no traction devices for me though, I can get 11.5's without them.

I was thinking about you the other day Tom...if you've got wheel hop with your current leaf springs (Hotchkis?)...you could try my old GW springs, they're heavy but I never had any wheel hop with them ever.

[WAY COOL JR]

Good job, every 100 lbs is worth a tenth or so.

Paul, have you crawled under there to check out the FAF springs for any signs of damage? I'm not suggesting there will be any, but it's always nice to check. You've got to be wringing them out pretty well.

If you add on traction devices like a cal trac or even a slapper bar you're going to have to keep an eye on the flex a form leafs and probably make some modifications to make it last. Ask me how I know :-)

I'm afraid to ask...but I've pledged to be "traction device" free, LOL!

thanks but no thanks, the MT DRs took care of the wheel hop, they stick well

[paulm]

Sweet!

[paulm]

Ha...went 11.69 and 11.73 again tonight! This time the track was bad so my sixty was 1.614 and 1.667. Soooo with a good track and a sixty of 1.56 or 1.57 I might just be 11.50's...or maybe that's just wishful thinking, LOL!

[DOUG G]

Paul, you got that thing hooking great. Great times

What size converter you running ?

[paulm]

I dunno it's size, but it is a Yank SS4000 that they changed to fit the 2004R spline.

[DOUG G]

4000... yes, by size I was looking at stall speed.

[paulm]

Oh...it really stalls around 3500 or so. I guess it would stall at 4000 on a more powerful LS1 motor (according to Dave at Yank) but on my weak little 383 it's about 3500...and after the 1-2 and 2-3 shift at 6500 the RPM drops to about 5200.
