I've been diagnosed with acute racing fever...

    Well, that is one less thing I need to wonder about. Not sure what the point of running light wheels are then, besides the obvious total car weight savings. If I ever get to borrow some lighter wheels, I'll see if it makes a difference in my set up. I know I must be losing a lot of power between the crank and rear wheels. My highest trap speed has been 116 MPH in a Density Altitude of a bit over 2000'. The car weighs about 4035-4050 with me and a half tank of gasoline.

    What do you think of me not being able to feel the WOT shifts? Is your Ultimate Converter like that?

    I can feel mine but they are not slammer by any mean. We only went upper 118 to low 119 at 11.0s and upper 10.90s

    Yeah, I literally cannot feel them at all. I can hear the transmission shifting, so I know it is obviously. Quite a difference from low stall of the SP, that was quite firm, and and would chirp the tires on the street.
