with everything warmed up, put it in high gear, watch the tach, and slam the gas as if launching (hold the brakes). the rpm should spike a couple of hundred rpm above stall (that's flash), and then almost immediately settle down to stall speed. the whole test should be done in just a couple of seconds. did your convertor supplier get the dyno sheet when building the convertor?
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

my personal opinion----stop right now,get all your info together
and call ultimate converters--talk to lenny,he can steer you into
the right direction.
i had T/C problems--all the fast guys use him--prices are great,he helped me
i have a 500 PLUS cu B1MC pushing 1100 hp--i was not going to play around--lenny hooked me up
fast & friendly service

as far as the dyno sheet.. I filled out the build sheet and gave him the specs BEFORE the motor was finished and ran on the dyno.. so,, NO,, he never saw the dyno sheet.. but.. he did know the cam, heads, pistons, etc,etc etc...I was told by the builder to have a convertor around 500rpm HIGHER than "flash"... I have another convertor that my friend will give me to "use" to see what his convertor does,, but,, I THINK I NEED to send the DYNOP SHEETS to someone who builds convertors that knows what he is doing.... The guy in Alabama didn't take into consideration that I had a mid plate EVEN THOUGH I told him in the BUILD SHEET !!! The convertor "SNOUT didn't fit properly into the "register" of the crankshaft and I went as far as CALLIES ENGINEERING to prove the crank register was in the right place... I spaced the flex plate out .070 to take up for the thickness of the midplate and the convertor would have NEVER FIT if I didn't do that.. it would NOT sit flat against the flex plate because it was MADE WRONG from the start.. PISSED OFF at the convertor Manufacturer.. and I TOLD the builder that also !!!
The builder was MORE THAN HELPFUL and was willing to replace the convertor and have the convertor builder eat it,, but,, I didn't want to make a SCENE because the thing DID FIT with the .070 spacer on the crank to flexplate.. It was a FLIPPING NIGHTMARE.. !!! The convertor guy SUCKS..!!!

I don't know of anyone going fast with an Alabama torque converter. I learned my lesson. I have a Hughes that will slow any car down. Choose your company wisely.

Dynamic converters can take care of you also. Talk to Frank Lupo. He's been racing mopars a long time and is very friendly on the phone.

I agree that you need to call Lenny too. He will get you what you need and it will WORK. That Alabama deal sounds like a company that I got screwed over by a few years ago- GER in PA. Anyone on the board remember them?

see--told you------call lenny @ ultimate converter.
like the other guy said--NO to dynamic,i've had theirs,good work i will say--but their service and phone edicit is poor and their prices are wayyyy too high
look in the "fastest street car mag"--ultimate is everywhere.

I ran A GER A few years ago that I bought off ebay. It worked great but the part that slipped into the seal was to small or no prefectly round and I couldnt keep A front seal in it. I went through about 4 or 5 seals befor I figured out it was the converter. Now am running A Coan 8" and seems to be working really good with a 1.49 60' off the foot brake.

ATI, ask Fletcher or Biondo, you will be starting with a new update core not a 40+ year old core

Lets see, all the Biondo family and Dan Fletcher race Chevys, don't they      I have used one early Art Carr  Also raced with the following converters with good results,A1, B&M, Turbo Action, Continental with good results and one early TCI Also one B&M 069J nine inch modified by Munsinger  Lots of good choices out here, some bad ones also Choose with care

Yes they race chevy's
but I would think consistency/ lack of problems and wins/loses might be worth something 
then again those guys are just lucky

I would bet mooney that more races have been won with other brands of converters than have been with ATI There are a lot of good converter companys out there Just because a racer runs the decal and takes the contingency money doesn't guarentee that there using that product in there race cars   Have you heard of Munsinger? He customizes a lot of Stock, SS and Comp Eliminator racers converters other than his own So do a lot of other converter guru and companys
