Footbrake vs. Transbrake

only thing I can think of is I have a small cubic inch engine that the torque isn’t there to 60’ like a stroker has? I’m at 355”.

NHRA 340 stockers with less motor than you have( and 400-500 pounds heavier) go mid 1.3xx 60 foot off( or quicker) the footbrake.
So it isn’t that.
Injected alky makes a lot of extra torque too
