Default revmax torque converter problem???

I have a revmax stg 3 4000 stall. Have a few questions on it, it will foot brake to about 2500-2600 hundred. Should it be higher? And also flashing it from what I can tell the rpm's jump to about 2800 and climb. I was under the impression that flashing should bring rpm's up to 4000 almost instantly. My mods are full bolt ons, ms3 cam,4000 stall, 3.23 gears, mt drag radials.

A cavalier converter won't work that way silly.

A 4000 converter will not brake stall to 4000. The converter will flash to 4000. When you get a chance take some video of it flashing and email them to us and we can take a look for you!

I have no idea what Shownomercy is referring to... I believe he may be alluding to the fact that all 9.5" converters, whether they be a Yank, Circle D, PI or Revmax all use a 245MM core to begin with. The 245MM core is found in GM FWD vehicles, the Cavalier being one of them. The only thing that us or the other listed companies reuse is the turbine and impeller.
