It was only going 7.40's with 1.50 60' when it still had the Powerglide and Caltracs.. It did 7.19 with a 1.45 60' with the metric 200 and Caltracs. We never really ran the car ourselves with the old slapper bars. Since we got the trans back it has never had a 60' better than 1.52...thus the reason for us to suspect the convertor. I really can't see it being anywhere else other than the transmission since the convertor has been opened and verified good.

1.54 60' on this pass...
