thats right
but
if the guy doesnt have a brake then he will have to sacrifice street manners to get a looser converter to make some power at the line. 3600+

would like to have good street manners....

it doesnt hav to be the fastest at the track but i did have a 3600 before on the dead and cam and it was nothing bad at all...

oook well it will be the difference between a 10 second car and a 9 second car.. your call.

we all want good street manners i think???

i was thinking 10s too and went right past that into the 9s lol slowest pass so far with the A4 has been 10.2@136 on 11psi. so i think you will meet your goal bro. just take your time

thats impressive man!

my heavy pig and stock cubes wont go that fast...

on the verter subject i like that circle d "dares you to lock it" im really leaning towards then right now just watin on a rply

Dude my car is 3800lbs easy! I bet your GTO is not much more if any. And for the times nothing a few more psi can't fix. Have you talk to anyone that locks up on the track? Because I don't know of anyone that does it so I have no idea how much it helps out

yelo04goat

i dont know any one but for the 50 bucks extra and the muiti disk setup... i dont see way it wouldnt hurt...

one less thing to worry about...

you ran 9 with the setup in your sig? aps twins rossler trans stock bottom or the built ls2? transbrake?? ls6 cam?? seems like a simple setup..

in all fairness i dont think that you can say that the one with the more lock up disks is just better.

i dont lock up my converter at all on the track.

buick_lsx

would you ever try it just to see the difference? i cant remember who or what thread but ive seen/read 2 people on here that lock up the converter going down the track...i know one of them locks it up at 55mph and pulls alot more mph out of it, dont know about et though

yelo04goat

iTrader: (11)

that is fair.... its strange looks like i have started the "yank' thread... other thread you find more good said bout others guess it just comes down to what you want to buy...


just a yank kind of day

im sure that the are all just as good and i just need to talk to each...

thanks guys

MM runs a Yank so I don't think he's ever going to try locking it at the track.

buick_lsx

ok, i missed that he had a yank, they dont want you locking their converter Wot anyways right?

yelo04goat

iTrader: (11)

now i am wondering what would happen?? maybe thats what makes time travel possible???

sorry my sig was a mess i cleaned it up for you. no transbrake thats coming this winter i hope, still upgrading injectors and 3bar. going on the dyno next weekend. than 10pt,chute mount, window net and than the trans goes back to rossler for big upgrade. trying to make the shootout this year

but back on topic, if you locked the converter and it didnt hold id think all of the material that came off the disk would go stiaght into the trans and eat it up.

and whats to piont on locking up if you have a good well match converter any way im just saying. there are alot of things to do and worry about on a turbo car why add more to the list

Yep Yank discourages locking it up at wot.

been in contact with Chris @ Circle D good guy and more then willing to just BS with ya...

buick_lsx

i dont know who i talked to there but they were helpfull too...

im trying to sell my performabuilt converter in order to buy a Circle D lockup unit...ill try to lock it up at the track to see if/any advantages but ill mainly use it for high mph runs at mile events

yelo04goat

iTrader: (11)

mile now that sounds like a blast

I had a billet one made for a little over $500 from a local guy here in detroit. works perfect, all the guys in town use his stuff and they work great
