Default B&M LS1 Converter

Well, we just finished testing the new B&M LS1 Holeshot converter on our B&M Converter Dyno. The specs are 10" diameter, 2400 stall (approx.), and a 2.0/2.1 STR. This should be a nice converter. We will be testing out this weekend at LACR and CA Dragway. Our baseline times from LACR with the SS were:

60' = 2.10
1/8 ET = 8.94
1/8 MPH = 81
1/4 ET = 13.76
1/4 MPH = 101
DA = 4280'

Mods:
Factory Stock, except as follows
Hooker LTs & ORY
M/T ET Streets (26x10.5x16)
ET Streets were used to minimize tire spin for more consistent times

After this, I am going to have our converter guy make me a Holeshot 3000 and see what the difference is. The 2400 Holeshot converter can be seen at B&M's SEMA booth.

Why such a low stall?

We are just now testing what we can do with an LS1 converter. I will post more updates as we progress. I am going to look at building a 3500 soon, pending Marketing approval.
