What kind of gains would I see switching to a more nitrous friendly converter? Right now I'm spraying my TP4400 with a 150 shot dry out of the hole. My best pass has been a traction limited 10.94 @ 125 in overdrive (4:30 gear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ). On the motor the car ran a best of 12.18 @ 110. This converter seems to be working pretty well for me. What do you guys think?
Thanks.

I think with a smaller converter, spraying out of the hole you will see improvement in your 60ft. This should carry on to the finish.

A dead hook netted me a 1.37 60 foot last year with the same setup. As long as the track is prepped good my 60's don't seem to suffer from the loose converter.

Well, that would not be the problem.. Maybe the loose converter is giving up ET on the shifts...

Jeffrey, I'd say your limiting yourself with those 4.30 gears, especially with the 150 shot. Try stepping down to some 3.90s. Your trap speed will increase, while dropping your ET. I think your converter is working good for you, just think about the gears.

I definately need to kill the gears. I plan to do that sometime soon. I'm just wondering if that converter is sucking up power being so loose. I know everyone says it does, but it does seem to work really well for me.

You are racing on 28's?

Anytime you spray 150 and pick up 15mph I think that's pretty darn good.

I think if you could hold out 3rd thru the traps that would be nice, maybe 2mph? Not sure it would help ET maybe just a little...

You might need to do some LS6 valvesprings if you ending up trapping higher rpms.

Yes, I'm on 28's.
I'm thinking of either swapping out to 3.90 gears or taking the easy way out and running some 29's. I can't hook for crap now so maybe the 29's would help out in a couple of ways.

Hell yea go BIGGER. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> IMO- 29's would rock. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Like PSJ said! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> You might want to look into some valve springs if your spinning the motor way high. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Good luck to ya. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

I thought about joining you with the 30's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
And then I will have a little cushion to play with when I add more nitrous <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
