Default 7.30 1/8 mile I reckon good for 11's

Finally got to make some passes this year with the TH400. This is not my best pass but the best i got on video. What would that be roughly in the 1/4?
7.37 @95mph

Nice man, you are on the heavy side so I would say high 7.4s/low 7.5s would be about right on.

You made 700Rwhp on a 200 hit? That is over a 250Rwhp gain, nice.

Any idea on the converter serial number? Seems like it could use a little more...

I think you'll pick up if you have Greg re-stall the converter and loosen it up. However, I know someone running pretty much the same setup as you. Car runs ~ 11.3s on motor (with the nitrous tune... lots of timing taken out). However, I've seen it run 10.9s on motor with a different tune. LQ9, 200 shot, TH400, FTI converter. We've come to the conclusion it's a 3600 stall. He goes mid to high 1.6s on motor and low 1.3s off the Transbrake on the 200 shot. However, I feel he needs to have it loosened up to a 4200. FTI converters are tight which makes driveability nice. They're also efficient so you're not losing a lot on the top end. And they Love the nitrous. I told Greg to build me a converter for a 450 rwhp car on a 200-250 shot (future plans). And he did. My little ole stock motor was struggling with it. I'm pretty sure it was a 3500-3600 stall. I sent it back and had him restall it to 4200. Best 60' N/A has been a 1.60' which isn't bad for 305 rwhp. But, I've gone 1.41 60' off the Transbrake on a 150 shot that put down 424 rwhp. I'm 3600+ lbs raceweight.

So, my point is.. I bet that thing is going to hammer out of the hole on the Tbrake and juice. However, your N/A 60' will suffer quite a bit. IMO, you'll get the best of both if you loosen it up to at least a 4200 stall, if not, even higher.

I'd just give Greg a call because I know it could use a little more stall speed. It should be going 1.50's on motor especially with that kind of power. You can have a happy medium between how it runs on motor and how it runs on the spray.

Mine runs 7.38s @ 91 and runs 11.6s. 11.3s would be about right.

if i ever spray it, they will surely kick me out. Let me know when you go. There is a lack of lsx cars down there and when i do see one it is stock. What kinda times you run? Just send me a pm and we will hook up. I plan on going to US 60 on the 21st for the no prep arm drop race and there is a track rental on the 28th there also. I am inviting you. Will be about 10 bucks. Come on down!
