Quote: On the 3rd pass I launched the car at 2500 RPM on the 2 step off the trans brake wide open, and it 60' 2.11 LOL. 2500 converter isn't gonna work.
Yes the slip sucks, but something that a lot of turbo guys just live with.
Less slip would be good, could probably balance that out with a touch more gear. But you can't blame the converter for flashing to 5000 (sorry not 4700 as I posted earlier, once I added some fuel it made even more power at 8psi) and not being locked up at 5200 at the stripe.
Thats why I think tightening it up a few hundred RPM would help, but the starting line just can't afford to be lowered 1000. The 2500 launch was just miserable.
How much boost does it make like that at launch? I'm just guessing here but I think there would be a big difference between the EGT of an engine running against a 2 step at 2500 and one hitting on all 8 WFO against say a 2500 converter to keep the comparison apples to apples. It takes a load to make boost and I don't see the load being that great using a 2 step to hold 2500 rpm against a 5000 converter.
