Ernie - I don't know how serious you are about going faster @ the digs. But for cars that spin out through midtrack more rear gear and a short shift stratagy usially works fairly well. Don't know how your camed, but a experimental 4.10 may help. The object of short shifting is to be somwhere in mid power band in 4th gear at the end. Just guessing but your car should be in the mid to high 1.30s @ at the 60ft mark. It also helps to have someone watch your launch. Idealy you want the tires to slightly squat down with the butt end lifting slightly. If the rear is not lifting, (sqatting down instead) you have some work ahead of you. Takes a while to learn how to drive a car this way. Most guys think they can just get in and go @ the digs and win. Reality is you must learn to drive your car, experiment, re-learn how to drive it again, then live with some awkward change till you can figger out something better. And o-yes, you will probibly loose, and loose a lot too. And that's if you don't break parts. Try to keep the front end giong forward. Good luck
