Installing tighter converter, then redynoing I bought a redone Yank U4500 9" converter from my good old friend Tom Kempf and Speed Inc. should have it tomorrow. It was flashing to 5500 in his car (big inch + 300 shot) so he had it tightened by Mike @ Yank last year.
So being a Yank fan I will give this converter a try. Hopefully it will flash in the 4000-4500 range.
Current TCS converter is flashing to 7000 on the dyno.
I'm gonna pick up some more C12 from ASSC and then drop it off at Speed Inc. tomorrow night.
Hopefully the car will make 18-20 lbs of boost and then I will pull it and then take it for gear swap down to 3.70's or 3.50's.

Derek is not currently in the converter business but might come back in, but I can't wait 2-3 months.
The real numbers are the track numbers, the dyno numbers just help them tune the AF and get the car to make some power.

Converter arrived yesterday but we want to install a CSI Supershield at the same time to make the transmission setup legal for 9's.
I'm picking up gas tonite from ASSC Racing (VP C12), and dropping off the Supershield and race gas on Saturday. I'm thinking we might see a 3rd round of dyno pulls on Monday or Tuesday of next week schedule allowing.
Onfire, I'm hoping for 18 lbs of boost next time and I am hoping the converter is tight enough to get some nice pulls out of the car.
