first run out i wanted to get used to the hstc so i decided to work up to my hard launches where i punch it off idle. so soft launching by only flashing the rpms to 1600 netted a 1.63 60ft time and a sub 11.5 pass so i got kicked off until evan could work his magic. an 1.63 on a soft launch meant this converter is going to really knock off some time!!!

after getting back on the track i tried to bring rpms up again before an all out launch. the next two times i brought the rpms up to 2200. broke the tires loose both times. i'm in need of new d/r's as these are past the wear bars and have more heat cycles than they should so it just wasn't happening.

last run...around 1am! i tried stalling to about 1800rpm to find that happy middle ground where the tires would still work...and it happened again...think i broke another axle (won't know for sure until i get it on the lift later).

before you jump to conclusions...this wasn't the converters fault. i got lined up partially in the groove...one tire hooked and the other didn't. as i feathered to find traction, the tire that was spinning caught traction suddenly and that's when i heard the "pop". lol, i still limped down the track to a 11.56. i think good d/r's would have prevented this problem by giving me the initial traction i needed.

it was so late that i didn't want to get everyone there all worked up trying to help me and i was too pissed to call a flatbed so i limped her home...funny noises and all.

i'll post with the diagnosis later.

Hope you can get it figured out ASAP and get some nice launches. I knew with these hstc's going into these cars and hard launches stuff is going to start to give. How much tire pressure did you have in your tires? What tires do you plan on next? I have to run out the house to work on a car but I'll pm you with some ideas Btw, 2200 is higher than I have ever launched on the track! I was scared to go over 2000 lol...
