Make sure the converter was spec'd out for forced induction (triple disc) or you could end up tearing it up, if you're driving through it. Bob

What kinda car isthe setup in..my same setup in a FBody would make more MPH. Do to power to weight. You cant really go off other peoples builds to for results "every car is different. and keep in mind Dynos are ''TUNING TOOLs'' its cool to see a number at end of a pull, but they really are meaningless .
D1sc. low boost because I'm on stock 4l60e lol! I want it to last me another year or so. Once I get tranny built I'll up boost to 8psi or so and do meth injection.

Seems like everyone always has more problems than me lol (knock on wood).
Good thing about auto's is that they're much easier on the rear. I never launch it that hard unless I go to the track and that's maybe once a year. My 4l60e has made it through full bolt-ons, 224r cam and a 100 shot of n20 shifting at 6600 rpm so I'm going to keep with it tell it breaks and have either rpm or flt rebuild it! Neither the motor or transmission has ever had a single problem!
