    the 430 helped but the rpm was still above 7800 at the 1000ft. the car ran a10.82 at 116 mph the math said there is something slipping in the trans or converter. I pull the trans and sent the converter to be check and they said the pump vanes in the converter flating out.They rebuilt the converter andI shoud be back out for the second speedworld race,

    I got the motor and trans back in and went to the 2nd speedworld race. Now that the converter is fixed and the 430 gears still in the car it went 10.757 at 123mph at 6300 rpm thru the traps and shifting at 6600rpm. I am going to turn on it some more and then maybe put the 488 back in to see what they do to the E.T. and MPH
