No.

I did raise the converter lockup points but that's just a personal preference. I like my converter to only lockup in OD and only above 50 MPH. By no means is doing this necessary though.

Thanks. Another ?, do you think my 245 Nittos would hook at the track?

It'll need to be a really good hooking track (biggest factor.) The tires will need to be in good shape. And you'll need to do an great burnout with the tires at about 20-23 psi hot.

It won't be easy. I can hook the TCI 3500 with my 315 Nittos but obviously they have alot more rubber on the ground than yours.

Does TCI custom build them? How much extra? Would you suggest maybe a 3200 2.25?
