I'm trying to make a few passes after each improvement so I can see how 
it effects the final product. The tires are part of the original stuff 
to be discarded for better stickier ones. My bottom end needs lot's of 
help to get and keep the rpm's up into the range it starts making power 
and torque. Torque comes on at lower R's but mine doesn't have much pull 
until I pass the 3000rpm's. I really don't feel anything special 
happening with my Dynamics 3000 stall converter either. I don't feel the 
"bang" but I doubt that the tires allow it to happen. I could spin these 
hard old tires with the 12:20 set-up. They are junk for the new set-up. 
This will be changed. I'll make some runs with new tires, suspension and 
the sure-grip 3:23 to see how that works but I'm sure I'll want the 
3:91's or steeper. (1/8th mile) I will give it a try first.
