Everything stock, transmission & converter-wise.  The converter locks *once* @ WOT during each 1/4 mile run - "stock", its @ about 95mph, 4th gear; with the switch, its soon after the 1-2 shift.  I can't see a problem w/ merely choosing the point in the run at which the lockup occurs - it happens anyway.   Aren't changing anything absolute here, just relative.

Agree completely - I use the GTech & MPSI 9000 (poor man's Diacom) - it records 1/4 mile runs in their entirety, capturing *alternate* frames.  Not the best accuracy for this reason, but I'm working on a gadget to hook up to a PC to get every frame captured.  Theory first, then see if it works as expected in practice.

Money and TIME, if you do your own repairs of broken stuff!

All of this is just bench racing at this point, as SW Michigan is *not* conducive to doing any runs @ the present time - can't find a clear road anywhere!  Anxiously awaiting springtime - words of wisdom - don't buy a SY in the depths of winter.  Most mods at this point are safety-related, i.e., boost gauge, FP gauge, trans cooler and such.  Have to wait till the weather breaks to do the tuning stuff.
