However your on the money. I'm loosing lots of time off the line. 1.848 is pitiful with drag radials. When I learn, I'll be hunting Anthony's non nitrous times. (A guy can dream) Thanks again everyone!

Same here. The torque converter won't stall above 1800 or so. I get my best launches with a 1400 rpm stall. I also run 16 psi in the MT ET Street radials and they hook GREAT. On a good track I go straight to WOT with zero wheel spin. I will cut 1.85-1.89 60' times, but that is torque limited, not traction limited.
If you are at WOT and not spinning your tires, you can't launch any faster without more power, lower gearing, or higher stall converter.
