sst reaction times
 
We just starting out and reaction times out of 3 run were .55-.49-.40 with no delay car has about 6 to 7 inches of travel in the front end and we are on the stop at .010 its got a pro tree brake and its on the faster side for sst . I was thinking about taken some of the travel out or making the stop come on later. Thanks for any help

Hello
I am by no means an expert of any kind.
With that said. I would limit the travel in the front end as much as possible,
so the car react quicker.
Also what RPM are you leaving at? Raising the RPM may also get the job done for you.

What kind of front and rear suspension are you running? Weight of the car can have a bearing as well...particularly if very heavy and a PG with 1.76 or 1.82 first gear...

Re: sst reaction times
 
Weight of car, first gear ratio, converter stall and launch rpm info would be helpful to give you some feedback with.

take the .01 out and make it .1 or more, see what that does first...

Keith, I was thinking the same thing. I did that once by accident and could'nt figure why I had lost so much in R.T. LOL

I have a stock front end back half ladder bar car that will run 10.00 about 3000 lbs
very loose conveter

I have found the best for me is .5 before the stop to be able to have around .04 in the box so in case I am having a slow day or at a track (like cecil d-1 race ) with only .005 in the box to go 00.
my 2 cents jim
I

yep, at the Mir sportsman spectacular i was at .02 out, just could not get out of beams, bad lights, changed it to .2 out = wheel stand, found .1 works for me with no wheelie and back to decent rts and consistant 60's.....

I would try what Keith was talking about first. I leave at 4000-4200 on a 5400 stall and 1.76 first gear, stock suspension 2950# car with a popcorn motor and run 25-40 numbers to keep it green. Your car may just need that little extra distance to clear the beams with the stock suspension. I don't go on the stop until 1.50, I'm so slow the little extra mph is not important to me.:D
