Hey Quik, what converter do you have? I've heard that the TCI's work very good from down low flashing.
for truck i have a PI 5 clutch 3800. it was ment for a car in the car it was setup for 3200-3500 but in truck it goes to 3800. my experience with stalls comes from my stang

i'm getting like 2.0 something 60' times. this is with a 3000 stall tc. how are you people getting so low 60' my truck wiegh in at about 5000 even with me in it. my tune has got to be wack some where. but at the same time a can break my tires loose at a half throttle take off at a light. what gives.

i really do think i was spinning comeing off the line in 4hi because i could feel the front tires working if that make since. and i heard tire sqaul but i assumed it was the other guy cause i didn't think i could turn all four.

My 60ft's are crap!!!! I think my tune is really wrong and its getting retuned this Monday so hopefully that will fix some of it.I also ahve not gotten a retune since i put the TT2600 in so i think that may be part of my problem as well.
On the talk about which light you are leaving at i leave a hair after the second light hits and this always nets me with a .020-.056 RT the .056 was my worst RT so far.Second light works well for me.

its all based on personal experience and how everything works with your application i guess. everyone just needs to go to the track and make a couple passes trying every way to launch that they need and try to find which way does it best for them
