Jim, my combo in my sig, uses an 8" PTC converter. 33.5" tire with 4.30 gears. Dyno'd at 960 HP as well.
With the 1.80 PG, I went a best of 1.09 in 60'. Routinely 1.12s. Launched at 5900 RPM. Might need a better converter, but also some chassis work. Shocks, 4 link, tire pressure, wheelie bar height, etc.
