I guess what I was getting at is that if there is a possibility the convertor is just locking up from the launch, in other words should I send it back and have it set up for a "softer launch" (if there is such a thing). We used to run lencos and could adjust the clutch a little for the shake but I am lost with this convertor/tire shake.

Rick, call Greg at FTI and tell him I sent you there for some info. Most think you need a 10" converter with a blower to kill some of the hit, which is just the opposite most 10" stuff is more aggressive then a 9".
2 months ago a customer at the shop I wire for had massive shake issues with his blown dragster. We went to the track with him and a few different converters, tire shake massive with the 10", put the 9" in it and picked up 2 tenths and no tire shake. Went 6.92@191.
