Almost identical experience with a very similar combo here but I went backwards trying a higher stall converter. Getting ready to put the old one back in.

9.92 @ 135mph with a 350 shot of nitrous and 93 octane pump. 1.43 60 ft. 3,750 lbs.

My "good" converter (the one that works best) is a Turbo Action that has been beat on and never missed a beat. It is much more fun on the street to have a "tight" converter IMO.
Surprising how much converter size affects shift hardness as well.

Couldn't agree more. I like the 9.5" behind the 493 in the plymouth, but when I swapped the stock unit for a 10" in my 12 sec dart, I hated it on the street...

This company may have been in CT, but they're in Newark, DE now. This is the second converter from Dynamic. First one went into our N/SS car. That one worked well too. Two Dynamics Frank Lupo converters in DE and Dynamic Transmissions in North Branford,CT I had one of the 9.5 Lupo converters in my Belvedere when I put it together in 2004- worked great. Good to see you're out there having fun with your son Tom. Hopefully if I ever get back to Atco might reconnect with you. How's you're Dad?

You got 10.9s MPH but not with that 60 foot. Better figure out how to get that thing to launch harder. I agree thats 10.90 mph with good hook. My best 60 is a 1.50 on just SS springs running 10.70's at 124 and change. I average from 1.50 to 1.53. You get that 60 in the low 1.50's you will be in the 10's. I run the Luppo Dynamic converter also from Newark Del and I love it as it has worked flawless for me. Ron

Surprising how much converter size affects shift hardness as well. Unless you have gobs of torque and gear then it's ...............
