Great time slips Bill!!! Sloppy converters suck. Get that bitch tightened to 3000!!! The tighter the more efficient the converter will be and the car will MPH higher. ---

:tup: nice times again. One of the gear vendors OD units would be extremely beneficial at this point,slightly expensive but well worth it,you mentioned wanting the OD back … [http://www.gearvendors.com/index.html](http://www.gearvendors.com/index.html) [http://www.gearvendors.com/racing.html](http://www.gearvendors.com/racing.html) ---

Extra gears won’t be beneficial until he can keep it planted for the gears that he has. More gear will put more strain on the converter and it will just compound the problem. I agree, he needs one, but he needs to fix what he has first. Fix it… for 8s. ---

dont waste your money on a gear vendor just leave it alone and just fix the converter i think your car has an 8 in it o/d is not worth the sacrafice ---

> [@turbo ls1 ss](#): > > 1.34 was the 128. The 139 was on the 9.6, and that was at ~85% throttle all the way down the track at 7000rpms. Don’t believe me? Look my logs. Going to have o agree with joelster on this one. The 9.5 at 128 was because I blew right throgh, which was happening right after the 1/8th dont think you went much over 61-65% throttle that whole run :roflpicard: ---

:tup: :tup: to Carl at Comp Transmissions. Called him up and he’s starting on my new converter which will be done by the end of next week. We’re going to the next size up, taking 1000rpms out of it, and we should be good to go.

he said the shear size of the new converter will prevent me from ultimately blowing through… so for now i’ll take his word for it, lol. i guess the computer simulates the car being at 100%tps even if it’s not after certain criteria is met, which i believe because there’s no way the car was only at 65%. only negative would be the restriction at the throttle passage, in theory ---

I’m sure when you turn up the boost you’ll want those blades to be fully open though. I’m thinking that Carl just didn’t take you seriously when he originally speced you your converter. He knows what it is capable of now. Better hold on tight 🙂 ---

even though very impressive i DONT see 8’s the way it sits. Already cutting great 60’s and 3/4 throttle doesnt realy change much when full throttle. I do however think its possible for a low 9 with the right circumstances. More boost could mean 8’s though.🙂 turn that bitch up. ---
