track times

[QUIP'6']

finally got to the track boy what a disappointment
60 foot 2.538
330 6.485
1/8 9.681
mph 76.08
1/4 14.786
mph 96.12
18# of boost, 810 o2's with no knock, d-6 convertor, what do you guys think the problem is besides the 1400 stall convertor? i did gain 20 mph from 1/8 to 1/4

That converter is killing you. I would think that your mph should be cloer to 100 but since it looks like your car is not even getting on boost until after the 60' mark, I bet the proper converter would let you pick up the mph.

Traction! That 60' time is killing you. What tire were you using? Need slicks or good drag radials at the minimum.

your 96 and change MPH indicates a high 13 second run with a good traction (low,low 14's at worst)
That 60 ft. is killing you

My car had a D6 converter in it when I bought it used and it was a slug off the line. First gear is nearly useless with that low of a stall. Put in a D5 or aftermarket TC and that should help a great deal.

I actually had a D7 convertor in a stock setup car a few years back. Ran high 14.. Put in the correct D5 and ran 13's at 16psi..

The convertor is hurting you as everyone has said.
