ok understood,
I belive you just repeated what i just posted i was doing so i guess im finnally gettting it?
Like i said , tuning first.... then go for converter if it seems to need it to get to my e.t. i want to hit, then if needed look into better gears later on.
carb is a 3310-2 holley never had it apart to check jetting and ect..
Tires are drag radials now that are almost brand new so rather not change now if i dont have to... but like i said gearing and ect is only going to get done if i need it.
I am very short of money so when i say im doing a gear change it means it will be probly 5 months from now...im going to get what i have dialed in and go out in a month and try again. if it needs further gearing...converter...anything else then that will get thought out as well later on. With the budget im on throwing parts at it. the only thing ill throw at it rite now before tunign is wrenches for not getting it rite haha.
But for now.... tune,timeing,suspension, and take it back out and try again.
And for spinning tire.. my mickey drag radials i ran before at street psi i think 44 and hit 12's without spinning tire. so i think i can use them a little longer.. but we will see like i said . after it gets tuned in and shifting rite and launching better ill see how it goes then.
You guys understand the frustration when you go out and spend the time to get the car running faster and it goes slower even though i knew the car wasnt dialed in. But i go to the track maby 4 times a year so i dont have much test n tune time.
But thanks for the help on this anyways. its all getting soaked in.
