I'm not familiar with FI cars, but I suppose it could still have a "flat spot" at the hit if the fuel curve isn't correct. Kind of like having an accelerator pump squirter that is way off on size and/or duration.

Off hand, I can't imagine a converter affecting RT's that much.

As an experiment, perhaps you can compare yourself to someone else in another car or practice tree to see how much of a variable you might be. Just trying to cover all the bases.

Joe, How high can you foot brake it to? I can't imagine a higher starting line RPM not affecting r/t.
Being a Pure Stocker with limited duration, it may indeed go faster leaving at a low RPM.
You might end up with an eliminator setting and a different one for qualifying ..Not unheard of.

The last thing to leave the line is the front wheels...start limiting all the wasted motion that the car goes through........too much front end travel......not enough air in slicks ect....even consider solid body bushings...

How much air in the front? With 26" it would take a large change in air pressure to affect rollout. Also, how high can you make the rear tires? Lastly, you sound consistant at the tree. Try (in testing of course), bumping in deeper on the line. Two runs only bumping once, then two runs bumping twice etc. It is worth a shot.

You might want to try a taller rear tire. I believe the class allows a 29.5" x 9".
