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.

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.

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