I'm not up on throttle stop workings. When the stop comes on, does the rpm's drop to idle or stay around 3500/4500 rpms?
Also when does yours come on like .2 from launch or later?
From ET slip must be before 60' for sure. Comes back on around .3/.5 into the 'stop'?

My thinking is maybe the rpm's are too low when coming off stop and the car takes too long to get back in power range? (like around 7000RPM?)

Mine & dad’s cars are setup almost identical. The stops come on @ .005 & we’re both on around 3.000. I think I had 3.020 in timer 2 & he had 3.110 for first round at bowling green last weekend. For now both of our stop RPM’s is 4,000. Both 3 speed lenco/bruno. I have a 2.24 low gear & he has a 2.08. He has a 4.56 rear & I have 4.29 now. I lost just over 2 mph when I broke my 4.56 & put my 4.29s in. Lightened gear set ceramic bearings.
