Need help analyzing time slips from my 5 speed Vega to my automatic Vette with the same motor and rear gears. In the automatic Vette am I loosing some up top because of the converter or could there be another problem that I should be looking for. I'm thinking a 6.46 to the 1/8 should be into the teens in the 1/4. Vega and Vette mph being different is due to stick to auto and Track altitudes. Let me know what you guys think. Vette was foot braked. How much can I pick up on the trans brake?

Vega with 5 speed / Vette with glide
60' - 1.473 / 1.449
330' - 4.29 / 4.164
1/8 - 6.627 / 6.46
mph - 106.28 / 106.39
1000' - 8.636 / 8.475
1/4 - 10.333 / 10.206
mph - 133.29 / 129.43
