Default Fuddle TC.......

I just ordered my converter(3800 stall and 2.2 STR) and I'm wondering what I've got to look forward to!I'll soon be putting a set of TEA stage 2 heads and a Comp cam around 230-240 w/ about 575+ lift.

I've got Nitto 555R's on now but I've been told that the ET Street's are a better stick.

They are but if you can launch right, the nittos will do you well.

I see you have the 2.73.That's a big diff from my 3.73 in launching,right? How much difference did the SFC's make?

Yes, the 3.73s will be tougher to launch. SFCs helped the car to leave straighter.

I`ve used Nitto dragradials as my rear street tires for 4 years now, to me they are slightly stickier street tires. The way to go for dragracing is have separate rims w/ MT dragradials or the new Goodyear dragradials each are just as good as slicks for a 400 - 600rwhp car.

Whats the best converter for my set-up. 408, 245 et heads and all my stuf in sig. I`m going to spray a 200 shot also!

Reason I ask. We just tuned her and she pulled 455rwhp and 475rtq unlocked. I would have thought I would have gotten more RWHP. I was told the vig is the worse loosing power to the wheels. Is this true, please help.
