Fastest stock converter car.....

[theCATman]

Well I'm gonna look into purchasing a wideband. I've always been scared to play with the fuel and timing myself. Maybe the wideband will give me some courage..

Are there any disadvantages to ebrake launches?

Yea, you can bend and break parts on the rear brakes. I personally would NOT do this.

I have since swapped to a vacuum setup (stupid powerbastard) but when I had it yet, I could hold 12+PSI. I set the rear shoes to just barely drag on the drum before I went to the track. You have to pull the wheels off & play with the set-screw on the rear adjuster. They are supposed to be self adjusting by going in reverse and slamming on the brakes, but IDK??

I have a D5 converter and went a best of 11.94 I suspect it may be re-stalled though. Don't know for sure though. Drivetrain was fresh when I bought my car.

Wow... Most of You guys were in the 12.0 - 11.5 range with almost stock cars... Im impressed. I was planning on picking up a TE44 TA49 or 5857 to get into the 11.8 range but I guess that should put me closer to the 11.2 range.. with the proper tuning..
