Before I could send it back I decided to freshen the 408 nad found some issues so I built the 434. After some testing the converter was sent back and gone through, it ran high 1.40's after that. I then sent it to Kenny and he tightened it up a little and it has gone 1.40 one time, most of the time 1.43-44.

The 434 added close to 60 pounds to the front but I also have moved the battery to the trunk to help offset it some. IMO with the added 60-80 hp it should 60' better than the 408 did.


Depending on cam/ compression, bigger head etc, it might not necessarly 60 foot better.
Convertors as you know can be tricky getting right
Last year i went 1.63 sixty and went 11.26 with too tight of a convertor.
This year i went 1.51 and 11.32 with too loose a convertor after swapping to a 904 and expecting to knock on the door of 10’s.
1.51 is great for an 11.30’s to 40’s heavier car, but it was so bad in all the other incrementals it gave it all back and more. Never took the time to get it out and adjust it this season
