Do these E.T times sound a little slow?

Guys,

You can't just "launch" an AOD at whatever rpm you want, even if it's below the stall rpm...unless you have a tranny break....mmmm...a tranny brake....droool

. The highest you can rev your motor with the brakes on without moving represents your "brake stall" which will be well below your actual stall speed. On my car, with a 2800 rpm converter, I can only rev to just under 2000 before rolling. Now if I had huge Brembo discs on the front, it would be a different story....mmmmmm....Brembo discs......drooool.

You likely need more stall. With the mods you have, and especially with the lack of heads and intake, you've pushed your power band further up the tach.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but maybe some of the guys can give some advice for easier fixes.
