Thanks for the compliments guys.
I screwed up the final, Charles was a bit faster than me so I decided to to run the final off the transbrake instead of the footbrake which I had been running all day but couldn't cut a decent light with on the pro tree.
I needed a good light to have a chance but I got the sequence wrong and I let the car crawl through the beams. Basically a redlight loss.

Neal Chance 8" converter. 4500 stall, don't know the str.
Neal Chance is great, I called them and the guy spent like 20 minutes on the phone with me going over every aspect of my set up. Converter works great and their customer service is just as good.
