QUESTION ABOUT CONVERTERS

<< < (2/2)

ricardo1967:
Hey Dave, do you have logged data of your runs? I think that would help to verify the converter match to your application.

bikeguy307:
A loose converter gives you a good 60ft but not so good mph for the et. When I switched my Roadster from 6600 down to 5800, I lost .02 in 60ft but my et was the same and my mph picked up almost 3. Im thinking the converter may be too tight, keeping the motor from getting into the power band of the camshaft. A tight conveter will have better mph than the et shows, your mph is more online with a 5.40ish et.

Have you stall checked this converter?

masracingtd1167:
Dave you really did the right thing by running the old converter first . Now by changing to the new converter you will be able to see a change bad or good !I agree that the better heads will want a little more RPM to take advantage of the power increase ! Knowing what the motor falls back to on the shift can give you a pretty good idea of the stall speed of the converter .

I plan on swapping it soon as I get a chance  Thanks everyone
