Nick,

Yes, we've played with different launch methods. This car launches like a turd. 60 ft times are in the 2.5 range. Like Tod mentioned, it was cooler and much less humid this past weekend than it's been when we've previously run the car. First time we've ever experienced tire spin!

Honestly, it doesn't seem to matter whether you stall the converter or leave off idle. It seems to run the same ET's. We don't have a weather station, we've been tracking the weather through a smartphone. Yes, we have been keeping a logbook. Will confess, we didn't take good notes this weekend.

Yes, am sure the DR's will change the charactor of the car a bit, I hope.
