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.
I wish I would have listened to members here when I bought my converter and just held out until I could get the cash for a 9.5. My cars best 60' so far has been a 2.08 and I can only get about 1700rpm out of it before it pushes through the brakes on the two step. It has gone 93-94 mph every pass since I put the two step on it but my ET sucks. Going glide this winter with a 9.5 and a transbrake
