I had him hold off on cutting the converter while I checked but now I think I'll have to sink the $195 they are charging now ( just up from $175) .
ANy other thoughts on what may be going on??? Thanks
BTW How I do a burn out....
drive through water box wetting the tires.
Don't spin them cause water splashes and may end up dripping on them
press the precord button on my playback tach.
Make sure the car is in HIGH gear
upon getting the signal pump the brake twice and press the line lock
the line lock is also linked the burnout rev limiter ( 6000 rpm) I have 5600 stall converter
Burnout until hazy and then let the car creep forward feathering the throttle and keeping the RPMat 6000
after moving 10 feet or so drop the rpm and get a nice chirp
hit he record button and pull into prestage
Sounds good to me but I always start out in low and shift into high gear before powering out of my burnout, and another thing I do is to count up and have someone watch till I'm getting good smoke the first couple of times then the next time I know to just count up to five, six or seven whatever it may be and that way I'm always heating the tires up the same amount everytime, makes the car more consistent. Just a thought.
