If you do the math concerning torque output to the rear tires, the converter will roughly double the motor torque by multiplication, then times the trans ratio times rear gear.
A 1400 hp motor will put out over 1000 ft lbs torque ,so lets look at it. 1000 tq x 2(converter) x trans gear 1.8 x rear 3.54 = 1000 x 2 = 2000 x 1.8 = 3600 x 3.54 = 12744 ft lbs at the axle. If you run a 33 inch tire you then convert to track thrust by 33/2 = 16.5 " radius x 12" (foot lbs) =9268 lbs of thrust at the track surface. Divide by running weight to get G force. 9268 / 3500 = 2.6 Gs. No street in the world will hold that, and it will be just right for one hairy ride down a sticky track!
