Thanks for the input.

This will be the quickest and least expensive way to pick up .200. Like I said in a earlier post, I went from mid 4.70s to low 4.50s with a 200 shot turned on early for 2 secs in a 565 dragster with a Rons terminator and never changed the converter. I will say it did not do much other than raise the RPM and blow thru the converter when I tried using it to drive the stripe, but turning it on at like .300 and off just past the shift it made a huge difference without a converter swap, your results may vary

So ya got a buddy with a under powered over tire'd 5 flat dragster who turns on the spray 3 tenths out, and you think this somehow equates to what you have going on 700 lbs heavier, short wheel base comparatively speaking?

It's gonna be no wonder if you never win a drag race.

That's called wishful thinking, is what that's called.

Ya wanna be competitive, I told ya how to do it.

Any Tom, Dyck or Harry can pickup a couple tenths spraying 200, that's not the issue at hand.

The issue is being a BMF to be reckoned with, off the trailer.

It's a bracket race, top sportsman race, not a hey look at me race, I picked up two tenths spraying.

You were agreeing with a good way to burn fuel on the way to the track for no good reason, as I pointed out.

I've talked to ya on the phone a few times and you've mentioned getting in these races a couple times. I don't blame ya, it's some of the coolest doorslammer racing there is. But you won't do anything good, turning it on 3 tenths out, ya might even run someone over. You'll damn sure burn fuel on the way to the track for nothing.

Switch'n converters for a race is childs play, it's nothing to it.

If you do put a nitrous kit on it, you'll incorporate it into your n/a bracket racing as an overide with your n/a converter, now that approach with the current converter will do something to turn on win lights.

Funny that it's done everyday and I'm planning on doing the same thing to run the 4.70 outlaw stuff.
Doesn't take much and you don't have to swap converters to do it.

As I told you and dad you would

Deja vue, the OP wasn’t happy with his last engine and wanted more power while refusing to run gas, that’s why he got this engine and now it isn’t good enough.

That said, the OP’s engine was built by Phil Oakley, that’s he should be asking, not seeking opinions here. My opinion is he ain’t going to find a Tenth and a half with this combo without spending thousands and countless hours swapping parts and testing. Time to sell this one and start over.

This is the easiest thing to do, I was going to recommend that as well. I presume the motor plate is behind the strut? There should be plenty of room to move it forward.

If you don't want to do that an alky on alky plate will do wonders for what you want.
In a 2035LB suspended dragster with a 582 :
4.88 to 4.65 on a 100hp shot pulling 2 degrees
then 150hp took it to 4.59 pulling 3 degrees,
then 200hp to 4.53 with 4 degrees
then 250hp only went to 4.51, running through the convertor at that point.

My nx plate did same thing until i leaned the fuel jet out 10 sizes, then it actually picked up .1

Just joke guys and not really expecting it to be taken serious,but now days you have to have a disclaimer for every thing.
