I just had a new 8 3/4" 4500 converter put in my car. What a difference. I will get to the track June 30th weekend and I think my short track problems are over. I think the stall is the trick to get past the sluggish low end for the clevelands.

Well, still dissapointed with my cleveland. With the 2800 stall car ran [email protected] with 1.994 60' with the 5000 car ran [email protected] with 1.961 60'. The was terrible but still should have seen a better 60'!!! Anyone have any cleveland tips they care to pass on? Maybe this is all the motor has. Was hoping for 12.75ish area.
