Ultra Thruster 4600....
Ultra Thruster 4600.... alright, i'm trying to get rid of the vig3200 and step up to a real converter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> anyways, i've read through all the other posts and how it's not good for bolt on cars. although that is what i will be using it for in the mean time as funds progress for the cam install. Now...
that converter and 4.10's with 28" e.t. drags still is not the best for a bolt on car. BUT, what about when i add the cam (224/224 581/581 114) Will that converter be ok along with that? Or should i still wait and go for the TP4400? Thanks.

Re: Ultra Thruster 4600.... I've seen that convertor in a couple of cars (one on the internet and one locally) and I would just go with the tp4400. TP works--Hands down. But the UT has "yet" to produce the times. If you want a little more Yank does make a tp4600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: Ultra Thruster 4600.... I run a UT-4600
Since you will be using it in your car with the stock setup.. I would go with the TP-4400. It will be great with both setups.

Re: Ultra Thruster 4600.... I had the UT4800 in my bolt-on and heads/cam car and wasn't real happy with it. It ran good and 60' awesome but I really think I was leaving some on the table. With a 6600-6800rpm shift the rpms would never fall back past 6000, more like 6200. I have since switched to the PT4400 but I haven't been back to the track yet but the car feels much better.I really don't think you can go wrong with the PT4400. Too many cars out there have proven that it will haul a$$ no matter what the motor is.

Re: Ultra Thruster 4600.... Paul I wouldve put a 430 or lower gear in and then tried your UT.It wouldve gotten alittle tighter and worked better according to Mike.But I agree,4800 is too much.
Thats good info u got Paul
If you were seeing 6000 drops on a 6800 shift point then a 4600 would theorectically drop me to 5800,THATS WHERE I WANNA BE,1000rpm off my shift point is ideal for my setup.
Will see?

You'll probably see about 5800 or so on shifts with the UT4600. My PT4400 is dropping back to about 5500 now. My power and torque band are so wide on my motor I really think that should help me. I just don't think I was using enough of my motor with the UT4800. Good luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
