New best but need input
put the money towards an 80
i'd call PTC for your th400 turbo converter
Congrats on the runs!! It does sound like you are blowing through the TC unfortunately...
ps, I like your car! A guy at work has a black one that is fairly modified....looks/sounds badarse.

I hear tons of good things about PTC converters, but decided to give Precision a chance to re-stall mine since it was only $225. It took an extra attempt because we tried to tighten up the 9.5" first. The 2nd try was the 10.5" and it was perfect. It flashes to about 3300 on motor and 4400 on boost. The old converter flashed to the same on motor, but 5200 on boost.

I'm not sure this is going to make sence but your trap speed is good for your power level, it's the 60' thats hurting your times. Wouldn't that mean you need it to hit harder off the line? If it was slipping wouldn't that hurt your trap speed more than your 60'? I think my 4000 stall is slipping, but it still hits hard, I'm just loosing a lot of mph in the traps. Mine is a blower set up though. Judging from your times I would think you just need a little more stall but I'm not sure how stalls and turbos work together.

I'm going to take more video and see if i can hook my camera straight to the computer so you guys can see what's going on.

the 10"/10.5" is what Rossler gets from PI for his turbo customers...he said their 9.5" wont hold. I know that is true as Viki told me that herself after 3 unsuccessful stall attempts on mine. Instead of going to the 10/10.5", i went 4l80e. Let them try it again but I bet you have to step up to a bigger core. Turbo converters are hard to get right for each combo.
