What converter etc in the Red car DOC?

I have no idea, it's Roger's. It doesn't work very good with the little ol 355 N/A but sure likes NO2. Car has a glide, 4.30 rear gears and 32 inch tall tires so the 355 struggles on Motor to over come all that. It sure works well on a small shot of squeeze. Best 60ft on motor was only a 1.54 but add 175 shot and 1.20's. crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I may be stating the obvious, but from the back on the other video you hit the wheelie bar don't ride it at all and bounce the suspension. Settle that down, shocks or IC you will have your 8s. Just my 2 cents. My buds Camaro was slammed on the lowest coil over mount and gained a little by raising it 2 mounting holes. We were already carrying the front pretty well though.
We raised the rear from this stance to where you can see most of the letters.

I was working so I don't have pictures of the new stance but the launch was lower than this one, and gained on the ET. 9.15 to 9.14. I'm sure you have enough experience and other peoples input just my thoughts. Good luck.

Good input, thanks. We stiffened up the compresion on rear shocks for the 9.33 pass and softened the "bunny hopping" still has some, his instant center is too short, on another car my buddy has that is comparable for weight and front/rear bias, his IC is 50.5 @ 8.75, Jim's is around 38 @ 6, we will be doing some adjustements next year on that deal!!!!!!!
