I've never seen better than mid 1.7's n/a for any Midwest. My best was a 1.81 on drag radials, and it didn't improve any on ET streets.

I have one guy who cuts 1.6s with ET streets in a lowered car. Almost all the converters I have sold to local guys have lowered full weight cars. With just a baby cam and bolt-ons. None of them are serious racers. But I will have two heads/cam cars running this spring with Midwest converters. I will let you know how they do. There are a few guys running Vig converters and they don't seem to do any better on the
tracks we have here. Maybe this season will be better.

Personally I'm really happy with mine, extremely streetable, huge SOTP gain. Now that I have headers she feels really strong. I got some leaking going on with tranny fluid from the install, but I think that's coming from the dipstick tube I didn't get bolted back. Lately with the headers when I'm turning in to parking spaces seems like she wants to die is my only complaint.

i dont see many people with anything over 3600's when it comes to midwest converters...

from what ive read it seems when most people chat with hpa he seems to recommend smaller stalls...

hopefully i can do a little better n/a with this 3200...before i spray the car again

this particular stall cut a flat 1.5 sixty on a near stock suspension on the bottle...so thats all i needed to know since that is my plan...

With my heads and cam 364, and 4000 stall Midwest, I was cutting consistent 1.5x's and a best of 1.49 on the motor with just the foot brake. This was also a notrous converter, so a little tight for NA use. Never got to play with it on the juice really before selling the car.
