Waking up the beast

My car had an 8" converter when I bought it. It would flash to about 4500 and I could foot break it to maybe 3500 - 3800 or so (don't quite remember). But it was really loose, I had to bring it over 2000 rpm to get the thing moving off a dead stop.
 
When I used an 8 inch, could foot brake it to 3000 easily:blob1:

Creepy

The 8" in my last car - small block 65 Valiant drag car - would not push until over 3400 and stalled at 5200. I think that 8" converter you got is broken....

For 100 bucks it was worth a try.

Yeah, seems something is wrong with this one.

You take the pictures so i dont get yelled at for doing it wrong.

you've done a great job, I like all your photos

maybe a minor suggestion,
zoom in & get a few of the ET & MPH's {score boards} down track too, especially in videos...
maybe a few at or closer to the finish line too {with the run #'s on the lanes}, a different perspective maybe...
drag racing is all about the ET & MPH ultimately !!

just an idea/suggestion

carry on

Trying to make Mopars at the Valley on Saturday. Next nendra race is next Saturday. If for some reason I don't make it Saturday, I'll test it at island this weekend.
 
Trans is out and prepping the new converter to go in.
 
damn Bob-o is that the house??

Hahaha, No I I were single, that would be my bedroom. That's a friends shop. I can't park my car in the garage and walk past it.
