I think it is because the convertor makes the car inconsistant.

I guarantee there are several (myself included) high HP guys that have to have the stop set below 4000 RPM. I would have 5 secs of stop in some situations at that high of an RPM.

Well when I tried to go to 3600 and then 3800 my car would have an occasional issue coming off the stop .We settled at 4100 as it seems to be happy there, at least not doing any funny stuff coming off the stop. Although it really comes up slow on the power til about 6000. My motor does not make much power down low. Peak HP is at 7700 and peak TQ is 6300. I cross the stripe at 7150-7200 now. Going to throw some gear at it before we come back out and see what that does to it as well as a fresh albeit down on power a little engine does.

What is the MPH difference between a linkage stop and a plate stop? I have heard anywhere from 2-5 MPH, but htis was third party. I would like to put a plate stop on the car, because they are more consistant, but can't afford to loose too much speed.

I've dyno'ed with and without our Dedenbear TS6 (one of the best plate stops) and the difference was about 35hp. If you buy the rule of thumb that you need about 15hp per MPH, that's a little over 2mph.

Jeff, honestly last year at Infineon was my first divisonal race in Super Street with the Barracuda. Before that I ran my Duster once in awile, but it was nowhere near as fast as the Cuda. It was a 130 car on a good day and we had a issues to say the least. Still trying to find a couple more mph CONSISTENTLY. Gonna throw some more gear at it while it's apart and see if that makes any difference. Would not mind getting a couple of mile per hour back but have had a hard time trying to figure out a good way to do it. Someday with lots of hard work I can only hope to be as good as you guys on here.

As for the linkage stop. I ran one on the Duster. I could not ever really get the car to run conssitent o n the stop. Probably as much a carb issue as the stop but I dont think I will go back to a linkage piece. Ik am sure they have thier place on an injected car etc but from my experience a plate seems much more consistent.
