Thanks Mike so if I understand correctly you are saying I will/should be safe with the normal Treemaster and dont have to spend the extra $100 for the MRT.

Yes Eric you will have excellent results with the treemaster. I use the same type converter in my 1968 camaro super stock car. 6200 stall 3800 leave RPM 3200 lbs 350 cubic inch flat top motor w/ Q- jet carb 9.92 @ 129 mph

That is what had me chasing my tail for 2 years Eric, TOO TIGHT for a 3-speed smallblock bracket ride.
Hide and watch your 60' to 330' incrementals go crazy.

8" OPEL style front cover, minimum 5300 stall, all my problems went away.

But I do everything wrong, I also ran 4.11 gears with a 1.76 Pukeglitch......

I'll NEVER part with my JOHN KILGORE 2.10/1.40 gear set in my TH-400........had it for 8 years now.

Whats up Goob-

Just so everyone knows the converter actually flashes to 5200, I asked him to make it lose (cause of what goob said) however, I took it to the track this weekend and

the car 60'd pretty good BUT it didnt hook, it is doing what it has been all year with the 10 incher , but 60's and the 330's were dead on all night, consistant spin? to make a long story short I have to get this thing hooking and I dont know how, I have replaced everything suspension wise this year and everything was new last year, I have had 3 set of fronts on the car and 2 on the rear, I am currently running the KONI Spa1 on front and the Ranchos on back, the car is pulling straight up then down then blowing the tires off of it, last year this car would hook on ice now it dont even think about it, it was pulling the wheels about 6-8 inches now its now coming up and going out its just jumping up then down and unloading, car has new Trick springs on it as well. Slide a links with afco multi leafs on rear that were bought mid season last year. I have 5 inches of front end travel, Please advise on how to make this thing work. 28x9-15 tire I am sure dont help matters any but I know a lot of people running fast than 7.50's getting a 9 inch tire to hook! Please advise! I am now begging! Thanks!

oh ya almost forgot, it seems like I am not getting any body seperation anymore, also the front end is coming up and hitting where the Rubber Snubber USED TO BE. Once it gets there is when it drops quick then unloads, hopefully that will help out with your advise too. thanks again!
