Watching the car launce I could see the car come off the 3000 rpm chip and immediately go to 5800 before the car moved. So I send the converter back to p t c for rebuild. There was issues and broken parts I was told. I asked for the stall to be just around 4800 to 5000 since the engine max torque is around 5000. 5 months later after winter got the car to the track . Watching the videos the car stays on the 3000 chip on the 1st pass but flashes to 5800 before the car leaves. 2 nd pass the car comes off the chip after releasing the brake and flashes again to 5800. same thing on the 3rd pass. Is there a wiring problem or my older 2 step gone bad? it seems to shift the car consistent. Is this 5800 flash from being on the converter for the 1.040 I have in the box or did p t c not get it right with the rebuild ! Im going to go thru the wiring and stall the converter this week without the 2 step! Any impute I appreciate .

What's it go though the lights at? Where is it shifted? Last edited by CMcAllister; 05/11/22 12:00 AM. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Its a glide ! watching the video is very detailed i can see each frame by frame. why it wont stay on the chip is 1 issue and why does the car flash to 5800 when its supposed to be 5000? I have an expensive programable tach not thinking its reading wrong. .I come thru the traps at 6700-6800 thanks Last edited by dart9ss; 05/11/22 08:18 AM.

If it comes off of the chip when you let go of the button, then the brake stays on for the desred setting (1.040), I'd say the 2 step is not activated from the delay box.

I believe I misunderstood what is happening. Red wire on the 2 step and trans brake need to be wired in sync - unless you want it to leave wide open on the converter. Then you could just pull the low side chip out. 5800 is fairly loose IMO. But 5000 is a bit tight, although maybe not enough to have it torn apart. 52-5300 would be my target, IMO.
