I then gave this idea to Alf Weibe who tried it and ultimately made it available for sale as part of a "front end" kit that also included longer ball joints.

These videos from the same day in 2007, shows me deeped staged at ~ 2600 RPM with no front end rise...

FYI, the converter is a tight ATI Treemaster 8" that flashed to 5400 RPM.

ALL GM A Body cars of this era have this issue as do the F and X body cars but to a lesser degree. So do GM G body cars.
