Rear gear question

Need a neutral or negative converter to get it to pull off line & the gear change.
5800 stall OK, but there is more to the converter than stall speed.
I agree with tire and rear gear change.
1.96 low might wake it up too, but shift it at higher RPM with a lower low gear PG.
You are carrying quite a lot of weight for a 7.38 starting line ratio...2.52 low gear 3 speed puts the SLR at around 10.33. With the right 3 speed converter it would pick up a bunch. Probably on the + side of .15..
