I HAVE A 505 BBC WITH POWER GLIDE 9" FORD WITH 411 . IT 2 3/8 BORLA WITH MUFFLERS IN A 1800LB DRAGSTER . NEED TO KNOW IF I NEED MORE GEAR OR SMALLER HEADERS . IT`S LABOR HARD IN 1/8 MILE AT A 5.82 . MOTOR HAS 805HP AND HAS RAN 5.30 IN 2530LB CAR. NEED HELP

A 4:30 would suit you much better, even a 4:56 if 1/8 mile is all you run. But 800 hp should run alot faster than a 5.82 even if you had a 3:90 gear. I suspect you have a converter going away or already gone. What is your 60ft times?

60 FOOT IS 1.32

DO YOU KNOW IF 2 3/8 HEADER IS TO BIG

dparker

I would take my chips out and stall your trans on the transbrake to see what your stalling. Your car and anything close to 800 hp should be about 1.17 to 1.20 60ft. Find out what your converter is stalling before you change anything up.

THANKS WILL GIVE IT A TRY

dparker

Its alittle big but it won't make more than 5or6 hundredth diff. I really think your converter is bad. Timing way off, or jetted way off. I holding to the converter unless you find something else. What's your MPH?

trucksrus

THE BEST WAS 122 . THIS A CAR JUST STARTED RACING WAS PARNTER SETUP FROM A DOOR CAR .

CAR SEEM TO DIE A LITTLE WHEN LEAVING HAS 5500 STALL CONVERTER AND SHIFT AT 7000

Check the converter and then we can go to stuff like jet extensions, timing, jetting, spark plug, wires, etc. What was your MPH. If its over 145, you have a converter problem.
