Thanks guys!

It ready has a single plane on it Mitch, a Torker. Plus it’s a 496” engine, don’t think it’ll lose much torque lol

Tire pressure isn’t the issue, watch the rear bounce up. Needs a better shock, which is in the works. Got a very experienced drag racer helping me with this.

I had a Torker on my 496 and went to a dual plane and it's less "picky" about rpm on the street now.

Didn't see the bounce, just saw and heard the loss of traction right on the line. Good you have an experienced helper.

I run those same tires on my 67 @18lbs, minor burn out like yours , generic NAPA shocks on rear, 90/10 drag shocks on front , I leave at 3500 shift at 6000 1.57 60 ft
