Thumbs up Update on Performabuilt Converter

The weather is sunny today so I had to borrow a friends G-Tech Pro to get a Baseline, or ball park figure on how much this converter has improved this car.Before converter ir was running 12.7's after, it is running 12.0's(this is only a plug in machine so doesn't really mean shizznit).
Mods include;
Performabuilt 3500 stall, shift kit, 24k cooler,Zo6 cam, long tubes,3:23 gears, cat back, lid, ls1 edit tuning and alot of free mods.
Just FWIW.

G-Tech might not be exact science, but it's a ball park figure. That's a hell of an increase.

Was the baseline a G-Tech run also? If both runs were G-Tech, I would consider that promising. If the first run was a track time, you are comparing apples and oranges.

For the record, I really hope you realize a .7 improvement, since I have one of there converters waiting to be installed.

i need to make a review of the trans and verter but ill post a little info here.

my 3500 stall performabuilt converter is tighter than the one i used to have. My old one (not performabuilt) seemed to jump around RPM wise when i would roll into it in 4th. this one stays steady with no fluctuation. maybe the new trans helps, but i dunno.
