Hey Doc, what bracket are you using with the F1R? Were you able to keep AC and PS?

Well thanks for the encouragement and compliments fellas, but like usual things didnt work out. The TC we have in for the TH400 isnt stalling until around 5000 RPM, and immediatly it sees 12-14lbs of boost at 5% throttle, above that it spikes to 18lbs (WHOA!) , so needless to say we have it tuned to around 3500-4000 RPM so far and its making over 400RWHP on a Mustang Dyno so its no doubt going to be a nice number when we get a converter that works. Also trying to tune around the MAF has been a pain, I know relocating it is the way to go with this blower but Im going to try to get by without it, anyone have some words of wisdom on this issue??
I still have my PS and AC, and the fuel is premium pump gas 93 octane. The bracket is a custom bracket fabbed from aluminum and of course polished, the rib setup is a custom 8 rib, with NHRA balancer, and a forged 347 LS6, Diamond pistons, forged rods, bolts, etc. 9:1 compression, TH400 automatic valve body, and one loose ***** for a converter!

If you guys have a line on where to pick up a good converter for a sweet price let me hear it, Im in the market!

Thanks
Andy

nice I'm sure it'll do great once you have everything setup correctly. This brings to mind, I have a YankSS4000 stall converter in mine that I ran NA and going to a turbo 6.0L , how will this converter act with boost, any idea's??

Is the MAF on the inlet or outlet side of the blower? There is a way in LS1 edit to change it for the different positions.
