Thanks Jon for all the info, seems like a few more Ideas to try. I have dropped the air down to 6psi. Haven't added a weigh bar yet, as lowering the wheelie bar got all the crazy launches under control, now it is just a slow push to the right instead of the I wonder which way it's gonna go this time action that I had going on. I'll pull the tin back off and give everything a good check before the next time I go out. I had it all off when I was centering the wheelie bar, but didn't really check it closely. As for the converter, it was set up as a 6400 stall, and I'm shifting at 7200. But haven't been paying attention to the rpm drop to know the true stall speed. I really need to get this thing to run straight. I've had my hilborn setup back from Spud for a while now, but I want to have the car acting right before I open another can of tuning worms...lol I guess next time out I will switch the tires around. I don't think it is a lack of being in the groove, since it has done almost exactly the same thing 6 passes in a row and at 2 different tracks. after a quick slap of the throttle it goes as straight and smooth as you could ever ask for. I just need to fix the first 60 ft of the run.
Chris if I haven't got this thing figured out by the end of hunting season I may have to take you up on the offer to help out. I could use a good pair of eyes on the outside of the car too
