Those with Holley, converter question When looking at this datalog, does the RPM after I hit 3rd gear seem normal? I feel as if it's pushing the converter, starting to slip more than it should. Maybe I'm completely wrong and it looks perfectly fine. Turbo 5.3, th400, custom 245mm converter. I'm looking to maybe add a couple psi here this year and maybe go to 3.31 from 3.55. If its a stupid question and looks normal, that's ok, just tell me.

Another thing to note is you may want to move your seat forward or your pedals back. Looks like your foot is coming off the pedal some when the car leaves. (Look at TPS in the 32-34sec range)

Ok. The fall back is more so what I was referring too. It has a little bit of a naturally rising boost curve by gear that you can see. Being that it's only falling back 600 and not 800 that means the converter is slipping more than it should? So if I add more power, it will only get worse?

What are the details on the cars setup? engine size: (5.3L) , turbo size(include AR housing size), end goal boost pressure, target HP numbers, type of use(street/strip vs. race only), weight, gear, tire size, trap speed

Rod/piston 5.3, 243 heads, ls6 intake, btr stage 2 cam, vs80/96 1.25 t4. That run it peaked at 26psi, I'd possibly run 28psi if I can. Best pass is 9.004@151 with a 1.31 60ft. Raceweight for that pass was 35xx. It had 210lbs of sand in the trunk to make it hook. It doesn't have an anti roll bar but I'm planning on that for this year. 3.55 gears, 28" radial. I don't care too much about power numbers. It's 90% street, 10% track.
