Whats up man! Your converter is a PTC right? How do you know the STR on it. They told me that they didnt rate their converters with STR.

redbird555-I started out with a 3200 stall with 3.23. Then went to a 3500. ANd now a 4k with 3.73. The 4k with the gears feels just like the 3200 without.

The guy that I bought my car from told me that. It may just be that it is equal to a 2.4.

Yeah I asked the guy when i went to pick mine up from TCI what he thought the STR would be on it, and he said they they dont rate theirs with STRs. Kinda weird. Wasnt trying to call you a lair or anything just making sure they didnt tell you one thing and me another. HaHa

Well mine was actually a off the shelf TCI 3500. I was cutting 1.58 60 foot times. Then i took it to PTC and had them loosen it up to a 4000. Hoping for low 1.5s now. A 1.49 would be sweet. Also added underdrives and a cutout

Dude, that should be absolutely no problem.. You are quite a bit lighter than me as you know.. I was cutting 1.50s.. I now have full set of pro stars and a tune.. I'm expecting some 1.47s.... You should have 1.49s no problem.

I hope I do.. I really don't mind though.. Just that more surprising that it cuts the 60' it does.

Mine was pulling the front tire a few inches with the 1.58 60 foot. Skinnies really help.
