i would definately try the gears first, and see where you stand, if that still aint cutting it, do that 4k converter! that way you'll see what you are gaining from your mods... your 1/8 is pretty much the same as mine but my 60' is better, looks like yours picks up real quick after the 60'!!... looks weird how your mph is faster on your slower run than your quickest? its all a learning process!

how did you like them hoosiers?

Yeah i know what you mean, might just do the gears anyway and leave it like that, still gotta remember this converter is new, and hadnt been ran on very much if any at all, are converters known to flex some, meaning like soften up but not loose its integerty?

hoosiers, hadnt ran any other tire except steet tires, but its a world of difference at the line..

theres always scenerios on what can help, all the input you and ap has given will be taken in to concideration and tried out.. with that said, i'll do the gears foresure, even if it is just to have them, then i'll go from there.

gonna study the logs later tonight and see what can be tweaked more..

what kind of mph do you think us ecsb need to get into the 11's n/a? i know it will be very hard, i say an ecsb needs to have atleast a 1.65 60' and 110-111mph to achieve a 11.99? do yall agree? they are heavy and definately need the low end plus the mph for the top end..... i've only known of one that achieved it but it was a 408, i cant remember the guys name, i havent seen him post in a long time, it was a black 03+ ecsb from california?

edit : sorry for cutting into your thread skeet, i'll start a thread on this, hopefully some other people know stuff that we dont know yet....
