blowing thru converter on top. bandaiding my old converter setup which is a 10". Really need a 10.5" converter

22% slip thru the traps

should go close to 165mph if the converter was tighter

not enough converter to get thru 1/4 traps...BG not happening

Well that sucks to hear. Nothing you can do to fix that, don't think they make a bandaid for 22% slip. What is the stall speed? Just not enough converter to hold the new power?
