I feel that my converter matches my setup perfectly, and if his car is faster than mine, he's going to have to prove it by either driving his *** off (manual trans car) or having an equally deadly motor/auto combination. From 65+ against an M6 car, no sweat. Like I said, dead spots are erased. Prior to the stall and gear change, when I had 3.23's, I could downshift to 2nd as long as I was at or below 70 miles per hour. It would be up in the RPMs and take off like a bat out of hell. With the stock stall though, the moment I shifted, I'd lose all that momentum because the shift extensions were, to say the least, dick! So I'd have to wait for it to hit that powerband again and by that time, against an equally fast car, or a car that may have been a little underpowered but had a better combination... I'd get dumped. Not anymore. That's the beauty of a good combination. Big cam, baby cam, I don't give a **** cam, if you have a good quality, well built high stall converter... hold the **** on because the powerband never
dies. And you can use that as sig material, lol. Sorry. I know I get carried away with my responses, but I tend to like to back up my responses with examples. Hope that
helps.
