Helped a lot. Too bad the converter is not staying locked

So the tires alone took over a 10th off, both with converter issues. You'll get 10s in no time!

Converter was dying that pass. The first pass @123 I was at 3700 rpms. That one same mph barely hit 3450

So a little update, changed courses with my converter. Will be running a new Suncoast Pro-Loc converter, billet flexplate and some other goodies in the trans. Should hold up to my abuse finally. Also switching to a set of raceline wheels for the drag radials 24lbs per wheel. Should help drop some weight and look better than the stock skinny 18s. Plans to have it up and done this week. Shoutout to Ron, Dallas, and Andrew from Suncoast for all the info and help. Got a chance to head down there and check the facility out (havent been in 5 years). It was nice to see the whole process of what goes through building a converter and having what all does what in the converter and what fails when. 10s HERE WE COME!

Those wheels are nice! They look similar to the old Weld Cheyennes.

^pretty sure that's the point. China is good at ripping off the ideas of other companies.

Didn't know the racelines came in black though. Looks pretty good.

I was in their shop 2 weeks ago, it's awesome, I got to watch some parts being machined and assembled. They do great work.
Your truck has always been so nasty to me, hope you get her in the 10s!!!

That's not a Cheyenne believe it or not. Smooth lip means it's a velocity. Cheyennes have the indents in the lip.
