Very nice times. Glad to see you have it running good. Get out there this evening with the better weather tonight and improve on those times.

I think if you left around 1500 rpm's it would go faster.

Default New Bolt-on Best

Well I went to track again with no other changes made except for better weather and leaving @ 2900 rpm. It went 12.06@ 112.45. I have not experimented with anything below 2000rpms everytime I leave harder it goes faster does anyone else think that flashing the converter as opposed to stalling it up will yield a better 60ft & et if so please explain.

When I was trying to figure out what my converter liked (yank SS3600) I played with different RPMS, and it seem to like being partially stalled up and then flashed the rest of the way. It slowed down significantly off idle, and sped up the more I stalled it to somewhere around 22-2400, higher than that it seemd to slow... So for me I think it seem like a good mix of both, stalling it up and also letting it flash a good amount, results in my best 60's..
