So, your the guy that used to own these mw victors? Looks like they are fully capable of doing what I want, so you think its just in the vert? Every combo I have see making good power (700+) with the victor MW also had about 13:1or more compression. Maybe they just lazy on pump gas motors.

One thing I'd try next time out is leaving just off idle. Sometimes a tighter converter will 60 foot quicker being smacked WOT from a low rpm, like 1500 or less. I know mine in the past have. One thing that surprises me is that it doesn't want more RPM w/ those heads and fairly stout cam.

Don't recall seeing that. i'll watch the vid to see where you were at. How did it run? It ran 11.25 @ 116. It’s not running right though, my new 9.5” converter is way too loose up top. It was slipping 14.5% through the traps.

I called Dynamic today. They want me to run it at the track again and try short shifting to see what it wants for proper shift point. That's not gonna happen, no time. I'm really not sure where it runs out of steam at, but on the street it seems like 6000rpm. At the track it seemed like I was waiting a long time for the shift light to come on with it set at 6700rpm. I'll call Lenny tomorrow and get his opinion on it. Dynamic wants $385 to opened it up plus parts.

I'd get the converter loosened up and try again. Save the intake swap for later IMO. I'd bet as soon as you mention it's a street car, most companies get conservative and build the converter on the tight side. I'd leave the street part out and just tell em your combo. I've run several types of converters in mine on the street and never had any problems...sprag, spragless, mech. diode, real loose, tight, etc.

My converter guy has always spec'd a 9" converter for my combos.

Try contacting FTI 1-866-726-0273 I had them build a tranny and converter for one of my local customers, he is very happy with both parts
