=== ### ===
* 1.47–1.49 is very strong
* That indicates: - Suspension is working - Converter is decent - Tires are hooking

👉 There is NOT much ET left in the launch unless you go full race setup.

===== - 6.85–6.89 @ ~99 mph is solid =====
* Consistency is excellent (only .044 ET difference)

Using standard conversions:
* 6.85 @ 99 mph normally predicts: - 10.70–10.90 @ 125–128 mph in the 1/4

⚠️ You are NOT seeing full MPH, which tells me…

===== Your 1/4 MPH numbers (83–88 mph) are not physically possible with a 99 mph 1/8-mile speed. =====

This means one (or more) of the following:
* You are lifting before the 1/4
* Track has an early shutoff
* You are coasting through the back half
* Possible gear change or rev limiter issue causing lift

👉 These are not true full passes.

===== ET difference from 1/8 to 1/4: =====
* Pass 1: +4.88 sec
* Pass 2: +4.66 sec

A hard-pulling car normally adds:
* ~4.0–4.2 sec

That’s another indicator of lift or shutdown.

==== Based on your known combo (~600 hp Buick): ====
* The engine is doing its job
* The chassis is working
* The pass is not being completed

If you stay in it:
* This is realistically a 10.8–11.1 car
* Possibly faster with DA correction

==== ### ====
* Make a full pull once
* Watch RPM through the lights
* Confirm rev limiter setting

===== Check: =====
* Shift RPM (are you short-shifting?)
* Rev limiter activation
* Fuel delivery at high RPM
* Valve float (roller cam + Buick torque can hide it)

==== Before I go further: ====

👉 Did you lift before the 1/4 mile or was the track an early shutoff / test-and-tune setup?

Once you answer that, I’ll:
* Predict your true 1/4-mile ET
* Tell you exactly what change drops another 2–3 tenths
* Help you decide if this is a converter, gear, or shift-point issue

This is a strong car — the slip proves it.
