Well what would you be curious to know? I'll try and answer as much as I can just pointing out that I "think" my SS4000 is a pretty efficient converter on the big end of the track and it 60's very well, so for ME its been a great converter

Well you don't tell the DA of your best MPH, your weight, your engine setup, your hp, your 60's, your times. Your stuff may be great and it may not, but you don't tell enough to really know.

DA on my best MPH of 121 was 246 (hell yeah) so yes it was awesome. When I trapped 119.5mph the DA was 2239 and the car weighed 3710lbs driving right onto the scale after that pass. The car ran an 11.30 on the 119mph pass but did not run faster on the 121mph passes because the posi in the rear was shot and the car hooked then spun about 30ft out. When I trapped 119 the 60' was 1.56 The car is a daily driven H/C car with a LS2 shortblock completely stock aside from arp rod bolts. I drive the car to the track and back and ran all the passes on 255 MT drag radials. The car made 441rwhp and 408rwtq on a dynojet with the converter locked. What else do you need to know?

Well that's more like it. MPH still doesn't seem that awesome considering you made 441rwhp out of an LS2. And a little spinning has been known bump up MPH.

mph seems great to me considering I have a similar setup to my old LS1 motor and that only trapped 116mph same trans, converter, heads and accessories. The car has a LS6 intake and no UD pulley or electric waterpump still has ac too. stock 3.23 gears in 10 bolt and pulls stock 17s with 275s up front. The dyno numbers are probably a little high but doesn't matter to me either way I think the car is running great and it should go 10s on motor this fall with a new rear under it and some steeper gears. As for the spinning I understand that bumps mph typically but I even tried running the car with TCS on for ***** and giggles and it still trapped 121mph the DA calculator says 11.0 @121mph on my 11.30 pass so I think its close.

This is one of the 121mph passes, hooked out the hole then one wheel peeled it through 1st. I even got out of it for a split second.
