Phil, The dyno sheet will tell where the flash needs to be for optimum performance.
The stator configuration in the converter is what you need to be working on to get where you want to be for starting line RPM to get a good light.
Likewise with the front suspension raising up on the line .That's an inherent action due to the type of rear suspension used. There are work around solutions to control this, but they are not necessarily the best solution for the quickest ET, but rather to tune the reaction time.
