If the brake change doesn't work put a deeper low gear in it. Make sure you have all the Rev passage dump holes sized right (large) & you have better (stiffer) rev piston springs.
Do you do your own transmisssion work?

No, but I have a friend that does. I run a 28.0 front tire, I was told to put a smaller front tire and change the brake and that would pick me up a lot. I have the car set to run super-pro. I have also been told you can't set the car up to run both, but I don't see why.

Sure you can. That is what they make delay boxes for. Set the car up for a pro tree and add delay when you run a full tree.
There are several things you can do for a quicker reacting car: 1. Pro Brake 2. Shorter front tires 3. Raise launch RPM 4. Change 4 link settings 5. engine location 6. Stiffer side wall in your slicks 7. Practice! |

Tony, just cause I'm curious....
How much delay are you running in you car now on a full tree ? Are you gonna run some local races on the .400 tree or divisional/national events ? Reason I ask about what events, is, here in the east its really a .370 tree, not sure how to explain that, but the tree was sped up for the pro's to keep them from going red, and back here it rolled over to the divisional events also...So even us guys who were hitting the .400 tree ok had to do some work to hit the .370 tree in light SG cars...and you say (ss/sg) keep in mind the Super Street tree is .500... Also is the front tied down ?

Take note of what everyone has said & remember converter selection has quite a bit to do with reaction time. You usually have to work with your combination. It's a package deal.

1.000 delay, And the front is not tied down. It has a lot of front travel. I plan on running some 6.0 heads ups and some super/street div. I forgot about the .500 tree in s/s. On the conveter selection, that is were I was worried about messing up the bracket combonation.

If you can hit the full tree with 1.0 delay today, you should have no problem hitting a .500 pro-tree as is...
Pull the chip out and put 45 lbs of air in the front tires and let 'er rip...You might also try adding some air to the rear tires to speed it up... I didnt see how fast your car is but if you are going to use a throttle stop to run the 10.90 class kill it right off the line and you're good to go...
