Need to get my converter tweaked suggestions? Got a BTE 10" race converter on my car and it turned out to be quite a bit loose. Here's the background.
99 Camaro LS1 418CI
Procharged F1A @16.5PSI
TH400 w/transbrake
9" rearend 3.50 gears
28" X10.5 Slicks
Full weight car with cage probably 3700-3800lbs minimum
I was aiming to get the stall around 4500 from BTE but it turned out to be 5500 on the tbrake and it's slipping all the way down the track. From a spectator point of view it never sounds like it shifts just at 6K all the way down the track. The driver perspective is similar. It's trapping the 1/8 at 6.60 @104 that's about 6K rpm's in 3rd they should be closer to 4300rpms.
On the dyno it made 700rwhp. When I still had the m6 it was making 900rwhp.
I'm about to pull the converter and send it to BTE just wondering what you guys think I should have them adjust it to. 4K-4500 sound good I don't care about streetability I don't really drive it on the street but even the way it is now it's not that bad
