Congrats, your wifes "grocery getter" sure has impressed me and still continues on doing so!
Keep it up!
Is the transmission setup with a manual valve body or are you still shifting it electronicly? I'm thinking of doing a similar setup next month and so far you are the test mule

It's a "Stab N Steer" ride 
I still control the shift points with PCM tuning. It doesn't effect any of the normal driving controls. It's also only active in Drive.

Yeah that converter was a Circle D 9.5" lock up converter. I'm running their 8" lock up converter now
We're running a Strange 12 bolt with 4.11 gears. It's narrowed 3" on each side.

What is the vehicle race weight?...I'm from Oz so I'm not that familiar with this cars specs.
I am VERY interested in this set up for my vehicle over here... I would love to be able to hoist the fronts even 1/3 that high!
Does the vehicle react the same with the smaller tyre?
That effort definately deserves the applause you here in the background!

That launch was at 3500rpm off the 2 step. I haven't tried any launches directly off the TB due to questionable track prep here these days. We weigh in just over 3280ish depending on the current exhaust,fuel and driver. The iron block adds a good bit of weight to the nose, but that should be reduced later this year 
The shorter bias slick is slightly less aggressive at the hit and is definitely the slower of the two tires, but the bias 28x10.5W is a more consistent tire here in the Summer heat on a greasy iffy track.
Thanks for the props!!!
