Dan needed a co2 or nos spray bar on that cooler LOL

Good for at least four passes before cracking the welds!




It was actually a good SLIC. 1 Rare T would know what it was...as it was his friends car that Dan Keller bought.

Tim, i am curious how many rpm can you get at the line? 2 step off. Yes, I understand it is not beneficial.

Pretty sure that is a variable depending upon how well and long the brakes hold

Tim if there's any crack in the W/S, it will have to be replace, Th e number on these W/S are DW 1016 Shaded. Safelite is a good company. there own by Speedy Glass.
Thanks for taking time
I’ll be there when it’s done, looks like a lot of trim to remove without breaking something

I wonder if it's time to check for chassis flex. Is this a hardtop or t- top,

3100 at 15 lbs?
Even Brad will have to admit that is tight.
It seems to be working for you though.Congrat s.


My stock converter would go 2900 at 15 lbs just for reference.

Ron, stall and flash are two different things altogether. My AC 16930 would start building boost at 2650...but I'd flash it to 3950 on a 1.5x launch.

That is still 850 rpm difference. that's a lot IMO.
You are ''flashing'' to 3950 and Tim is flashing 3100. If Tim were to flash to 3950 and hook what would he run?
And on a turbo Regal the standard has always been at 0 boost.


We need a converter expert to explain the terms actual .brake and foot stall. It seems everybody means something different when talking about ''stall''

I suggest you call a convertor guru and have him explain it to you. The data on the PL file tells you what it's doing. Reply 148 I explained what it did on the last run...and on reply 152 Steve explains how to loosen a convertor up. Again, my convertor was incredibly tight...but with low gear tuning I could get it to flash over 4 grand...but... it would blow the slicks off it. It was a fine line.

Scoobum I notice you drop about 500 rpm to 4600 on your shifts I drop about 1000 to 4700. Dose this mean your converter is tighter than mine?

The drop at gear is called shift extension. 
1000 would be tighter and 500 looser

and is also affected by the power being made at the shift point.  More power will drop less.

I saw a post years ago from Dusty. Basically your convertor is coupling better than the AC I ran in regards to RPM drop. I saw another post by him saying a convertor would couple better if the shift points were higher...hence why mine shifted higher than stock with the counter weights lightened up. I'm assuming with the MPH I ran the AC convertor I had kept it right in its RPM range for maximum HP. If I read things correctly I woulda had to have shifted mine at somewhere around 6500 to get a higher RPM drop. The experts would tell you my convertor was to loose. In theory if it was to loose...then when I applied more torque it should have slipped more...but MPH would increase. Go figure.
