New Best at the track

I finally got a 12.50 at 109.69 last night. .085 RT 1.728 60' on balding drag radials with mods in sig. I was so happy everything went just perfect and the weather was awesome. Now when I get my heads and cam on I'll hopefully be deep in the 11's.

That's a decent number but I wonder what torque converter that you have. My 00 with the mods you have minus the headers (still had stock manifolds) ran 12.15 at the same mph with about the same sixty foot. Makes me wonder if you could already be in the 11s with a better converter.

Im not sure what exact convertor is in it. I was thinking of upgrading it next year after I get my heads and cam all dialed in though.

Using 1.53 as the standard 1/8 to 1/4 multiplier you should have run a 12.24.
Your converter is letting you down.
