does my trans have too much slippage?
I have a BBC that dynoed at 612hp and 590 ft pounds. I am running a 28" tall drag radial. I have a 3500 rpm tci streetfighter converter. My motor makes its peak power at 5800 rpm. My car is street driven and weighs 3496 with me in the seat. the rear gears are 3.89. my trans is a TH 400 and the converter seems tight (2000 rpm max on the footbrake before the tires lite up.)
I went to the track for the first time and ran a 11.25 at 117 mph I was on the rev limiter the last 200 ft before the end of the quarter. My rev limiter was set at 6200 rpm. my 60 ft was 1.67. My question is should I do a gear swap for 3.73, or should I have my transmission checked. It seems to me with my set up I should be able to go faster more like 125mph before I hit the limiter. any help would be greatly appreciated.
stuck in the 11's
