I went racing this weekend to try out a new convertor and wound up with a new best.

1.0822 60ft
3.2219 330ft
5.0591 et
132.98 mph

Even after this I'm not satisfied with the convertor and ready to try another one. this one tries to pull the rpms down a little before it shifts and falls back to far after the shift.
Hopefully I can get one that will work like I feel it needs.

That's awesome man! 4s are coming your way!

Do you run an air pan on your carb? I have the same scoop, my carb sits level with the sheet metal and I've always wondered if that's enough scoop. Mine's not sealed to the hood, intake porter told me not to

Right now I have an FTI 8 inch but I'm getting ready to order a 7inch from someone to see if I can get it where I want.

I have a little too much gear in it trying to get the RPMs where I want them and I'm sure that will have to come out when the convertor gets right

Have you ever tried it without? My guy convinced me I didn't need it, he was a head and intake developer for a big Nascar team but all his personal stuff is drag racing related

My car slowed in back-to-back tests when removed and something most overlook is the velocity of air at speed and it's effect(s) on the bowl vents and the reason to tie em together to equalize the pressures...........
