Default 9 second and faster turbo a3/a3 cars...

My friend is wondering if you are running 10" converters or 9" converters.

I didn't know that you had any friends. Your imaginary friend doesn't count.

Your friend needs to pick a shop and stick with their recommendations. If not, he is going to have one mis-matched, no-running car on his hands. If he is serious, I'd give Wolfe a call. He has put together alot of fast cars.

No, he already knows what size is best, just wanted to see if any guys in the low 9's or faster are running any particular 9" converter. He plans to run a 10" converter.

Oh and Mitch, let me know when you get out of the 10's@13_mph with that beast of yours, I would have tore you up on the street or the track with my car, and I made less power than you.

For the love of John, call Marty and tell him what you're doing.. Let him spec it out for you... We've been bottom 5's in the 1/8th with 9" and 10" Chance converters, it depends on the combo..
