Yes, i had the car tuned when i added the converter. the car would actually stall out at times backing up into the burnout box or if i was at a light, started to go, then had to hit the brakes (dumb drivers in front of ya). Had to fix the tune. As far as tq management, i know the tuner "messed" with it, but couldn't tell ya what all he did. I did not expect to drop a full second either. When I got my timeslip, I was like...."Holy Shiznit" . I was very impressed to say the least. With a hundred shot, stock manifolds and exhaust I went 11.5s @ 116. I'm sure that once you get the car tuned you'll be just fine. You should pick up mph and drop et.

 

thank bro... sounds good. exhaust is on the way, then a tune. then I'll head out to the track again.

 

No problem. Good luck with everything. Keep us posted on how everything works out for you. And thanks for serving our country.

 

the only converter comparison i have is going from 8.73 to 8.18, with the only addition being the converter. i know i could've dropped more off, but the stock tranny tune was killing me (i have a harsh shift kit) and i bounced RL like 7 times on the 2-3 shift.

i have no doubt that i would've dropped close to a second off my ET, but i didn't make it to a prepped track before adding the intake and exhaust.

 

My trap speed stayed about the same after installing a Fuddle 3400 2.1. I ran last year on street tires, no tune, and stock converter and went 13.8 @ 105 mph. This year with Nitto DRs, a mail order tune, and the Fuddle 3400 2.1 I went 12.9 @ 105 mph.

 

If exhaust is on the way just wait till you get that in before you get it tuned

 

yep 108 stock but now that was in Jackson sc. so the altitude where I'm at and you could make some difference.....and to at that time mine had 2.73's..

 

i have a vigilante 3800 stall and using 255/50/16 mt drag radials, i tried launching the car many differnt ways. And found out that if i do good burn out and Foot stall the car as much as i possible can without having the car jump foward off the line, then I imediatly go into wot 100 percent thorttle, I found this way to be the best for me, I tired launching at idle and lower RPM but the car will trap slower and the ETs are slower when i do any other launching technique.

 

that info right there makes me smile bro, I think it could be all in my foot work... Like I said above, I tried 2 times from 1k rpms and got 100mph traps. then i tried it at 2k rpms and got 101.9 but had to leave after that run... I belive I might scrape off another .1-.2 tenths and trap 103 even when its hot if i stall it higher.... man that makes me feel better. thanks for the info!!!
