it worked well with Brian's old 366. it made 1700+. The 427 is just too much of a beast for that converter. Needs a 10.5'' in it.

Thanks. I need to see what mine is doing also. I think I need to tighten my converter also. I will have to see if HPT has a PID for xmsn output RPM.

One of my favorite parts of the day is brians woman unhooking the car and telling him to drive the car to the lanes. Lol

How do you get a converter loose down low and tight up top?

Right combo of size and internal parts...

The golf cart had a self-inflicted carb issue

Wow once the power came on I don't think the left front touched the track till the 1/8th!

That thing is really hauling some *** now brian. Good side by side race too.

shawn and I chatted a bit....

after looking over the logs, it might still be salvagable, the converter was starting to pull the motor down, so we just need to get after it in the middle of the track

have some changes to make in the next two weeks

blowing through the converter is not a bad problem to have, it means you over shot your goal of going fast and making huge power!
