4.10 gears need to go first off,12-1 comp I'm pretty sure you are'nt cruisin much

I know you check flash when launching car @ track when you leave line watch where tach goes to as soon as hit the gas,it will usaully kinda hover there and then come back a few hundred rpm and then start climbing from there.

On slippage figure using formula, MPH X gear ratio X 336 divided by tire height= RPM
using info you gave if your converter had 0% slippage you would turn 6100 @ finish line.
figure % difference in 6100 and what you are crossing trap @ and that is % of slip you have.
Lowering rear gear will help reduce slippage @ finish line,but will also lose some stall on launch.

I'm bored while taking a break or would not even responded to automatic questionLOL.
PS i borrowed 4500 converter on time could hold brakes and bring up rpm keep easing down on throttle and could go over 6000 without moving car(junk) bought new one that flash 4100 about 2500 was as far as could hold it,worked on brakes got to 32-3300.
