Default 3400 TC installed,

Happy with the throttle response,
BUT
horsepower went from 347 to 324.
tires spinn like crazy, cant get any traction, and my 1/4 mile time went from 12.4 to 12.9 have TA drag radials, and had it dyno tuned
What can I do???
times were done with both Vector FX
and the new G tech.
Nice thing is it will roast tires at any speed, and NO dead spot at 40 mph on up.
She will leave marks on the road when I punch it at 70 mph.

Kinda happy , Kinda not.

You will loose HP no matter what when you get a convertor.

Its just an old air strip and I usually run the mickeys.
I was thinking the ta's would be just as good.

I am putting down over 400 to the ground and have a 3,200 stall. I get 1.6-1.7 60 foots all day long and the car hooks hard at any speed.

My set-up is: Lower control arms with relocation brackets, adjustable panhard bar, weld in sub-frame connectors and 17X10 wheels with 315/35/17 Nitto drag radials.

Sounds great........... no internal engine parts, yet
I have welded in sub-frames and lower control arms,
I'll have to try the adjustable panhard bar,
Thanks

Also did you lower your car? If so get the relocation brackets for the lower control arms.
