By my calculation with no converter slip it should go 142 mph at 7 k and 132 mph at 6k, and the dyno rpm is obviously off from that of my cars tach.

i don't think you'll ever get to 142 at 7k. the converter is always going slip. it's nothing like a clutch. btw nice numbers.

If you read closer, I stated no converter slip, like a manual tranny. Whats normal to expect 5-10%?

Last time Speed Inc. dynoed my car (last year) they were seeing like 162mph on the dyno with my current converter. That was like at 6600 rpms.
