Same power as you(474RWHP) full weight WS6,408,TH400, 9" with 3.50 gear. Best NA pass was 10.71@123mph on 325/50 MT drag radials. Had a 4200 converter in at the time, tightened it up a little since then but havent ran it on motor again.

I had a 3800, TH-400, 9: w/3:55's making around 430rwhp but the car was probably around 3100 lbs and had 325-50-15 M/T ET street radials. The car ran 11.teens with that setup on motor and 9.7's on the 200 shot.

I had the converter tightened up and went to a glide this year, it KILLED my N/A times but should be perfect for the 350+ shot.

Hope this helps.

We have a local shop here(torque converter services) that builds converters. They do the majority of "performance" applications around here. Also makes it much easier to have the converter tightened/looosened without having to ship it off.
