My car stalls about 5000 rpm and I 60' between 1.26 to 1.30 on a 9" tire.

I run a TH400 that I built with a full manual reverse pattern valve body, use a 3.90 rear gear, 28" tire and use a Redneck Racing 9.5" converter that has 6.5% slip across the line. I could use a slightly higher stall, 5400-5500, to get a better 60' time.
