Again it leaves lazy, I think. I would like opinions on weather a rear gear change (deeper), a converter change (looser) or a lower tranny gear would be best.

thanks Greg.
Im a little hesitant to ask, but who's converter do you have in there? With that kind of power 1.3s 60s should be no problem if everything is right, even with the glide. Did you ever weigh the converter empty of fluid?
