Default Did I Go Overboard On The Coverter?

i just put in a th350 w/brake and i got a custom built ati converter and they said i should see 3800-4000 on motor and 4500+ on spray, but the problem is, im seeing like 4500 on motor. do you think that the fact that i have the 4.11 gears(373 will be here any day now) from my m6 set-up would cause that stall to seem worse than it is because its not even having to work hard to get me through such a short gear?

3.73s to 4.11s will make only a tiny difference in observed stall at launch. Higher number gears actually reduce the observed stall since the converter doesn't have to work as hard.

If you are stalling to 4500 on the T-Brake, then you will blow through the converter if you are spraying any sizable shot.
