If you are going through the lights at 7300 with 4.11s and a 32" tall tire, you are either pulling some serious MPH, 165+, or something is slipping badly. What's your trap speed? Running low 11s, your trap speed should be between 115 and 120 and RPM between 5000-5200. I would be very suspicious of your torque converter if the RPM is much higher than that. What kind of 60' time do you think you should have? If the TC is slipping that badly on the big end, it could be costing you off the line as well.
For reference, at 120 RPM with 5.14 gears and your 32" tire your rpm should be about 6500.
Hope that helps
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
