1/8 mph 101.90
1000 8.70
1000 mph 115

The last converter change I did in the Duster was to replace the broken custom built 10 inch street and strip converter to a 8 inch T/A race converter built back in the early 1990s for a SS/AH car at that time when they still ran 727. I was counting on it not picking up ET or MPH, but it did .2+ ET in the 1/8 mile and 2.+ MPH in the 1/8 Suprised the heck out of me, T/A makes some good parts,huh

I am curious how this goes for you. I also run a 9.5 Dynamic converter that flashes about 4200 and our cars are close in performance as my best 60 is a 1.50. Hope it picks up et for you. Ron
