Got any passes on video you could post so we can see what it's doing? Is it dead-hooking or lugging the engine down any in the first 60ft? Also are you running housing floaters, (or floating/sliding leafspring mounts) with the ladder bars?

having a 32x13.5w that think should dead hook, I think the 6000 stall converter is to loose and you are missing the tq curve at the bottom that helps move that thing through the 60' clocks, JMO!!!
