Default First pass new setup, 6.35

I got a chance last minute to go make a pass . It was a no time event lots of race classes. I only got to make 1 pass. I was hoping for 6.20s but I know this 406 has got it in it now. I really wanted to see how the converter was going to react. I'm still on the fence of tightening it up. Wish I had gotten to make a few more. I know it would have went 20s later in the evening. I drove it there and back 2 hr round trip with no problems so it was a good day!

Mph tells the real story.

Can you explain more with detail on the converter deal ?

I know the RIGHT converter can make or break any given combo.

The converter is on the too loose side now with the added torque it's making with the new engine . I expected that with what I saw on the Dyno .

I'm going to run it again when I can make more than one pass, I may try some Hy guard to tighten the converter a bit.

I'm going to run it again before I do anything. I really didn't get a clean pass. If I do that I'll probably just pull the plug on the pan and refill with hy guard. They say about 50/50 or 40/60 mix transmission fluid/Hy guard will tighten the converter. I've never done it but know some bracket racers that have.

Hoping the 60 and ET improves once I get everything sorted out and get the converter happy.
Thanks!
