I'm also thinking of putting the wheelie bar on the car and take the 45lbs off the nose. Don't now if it would help/hurt the shake but it's 45lbs off the car so I could/should pick up some ET . Dave F J B | |||

Could be a 20608. A racer I know won a IHRA Hot Rod Championship with a 540 BBC in Bertozzi's white 68 Camaro, with a 20608 converter. Returned to defend it the following year and broke the sprag at two consecutive races, might of been three consecutive races. Cost him defending the championship, by the time he made the 20608 converter spragless. | |||

I went back out to the trailer and re-checked the box and you guys are absolutely correct, it is a 20608 B&M convertor. Sorry for the confusion. Even though it was only me confused....lol . Dave F J B | |||

It could be a lot of different possibilities causing it, with a car that hasn't been run in a while. But if I'm shaking the tires, I'm letting air out. | |||

One thing I noticed Mike is the higher I went up with air pressure the more MPH I lost. If my computer is to be believed I'm going across the 1/8 mile finish line at 7400 ?!? Either the B%M convertor is slipping like a b!tch and/or the tires have ZERO growth....... I realize I changed WAYYYY to many things at one time and now I have no idea what went wrong. .

Either or both would be fine with me Bryan...I haven't been to Sonoma for at least 10yrs. So it would be nice to see it again.....If I remember correctly there was a couple very good steak houses up there. If you go also I owe you guys dinner..... . Dave F J B | |||

That is interesting to read about the 20608. I always found it to be aggressive down low but not MPH very well. Tony Leonard | |||

I ran a Spitzer hardtail for years sub 4.70,s with 16 beadlocks and various tires , gears and converters and ran 4.5 to 4.75 air pressure pretty much across the board. 30 lbs in the nose to keep the front tires rolling thru the beams instead of wheel stands. | |||

hughes 7sc, wow that seems tight and aggressive to me from what I remember for your combo J.R.

J.R. , even with shaking my teeth out the 20608 had a much better 60' time.....the Hughes convertor always worked fine for Pro-lite racing but I always thought the car should 60' better and be faster with better 60'......I've got it in my head that if I switch back to my old rims&tires the shake will be gone......I brought my old convertor, manifold, ect to Vegas with me....everything except my old tires....damn it .
