I just read through your whole build. Sounds like a sweet set-up you got going there. Im sure that thing is going to haul some major *** for you guys. It also looked like you were having good luck with the stock ls1 in there. Good luck at the shootout.

The converter's definately a problem. No matter what we did, take timing out, add more timing, fuel, etc, the car would run 138-139 mph every run. It's going through at 7200 rpm to boot.
It didn't help that Muncie had stones on the starting line.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments, we appreciate it! Bob

The track was in bad shape tonight, it had a lot of street rubber on it mixed in with gravel! We were surprised when the front end came up on one of the runs. The car was also breaking loose pretty bad in 3rd gear. Bob

I'm sure if you can get it quicker if you overnight it, I have had a few converters in here and the ATI has always worked the best. I'm using an 8" 5500 and 7250 = 151mph with a 3.70 and 28" tires.
Thats how the tracks are here, gravel pits so all the gravel gets drug up to the line, I'm kinda used to it by now

Plenty of other good converters out there as well, getting a custom made one quick is the hard part. Either way 9.80s and 140 first time out is pretty good, only one way to find out if everything is right and now you know. Good job getting it cranked out so quick.

TyTy its 9.2:1
Kevin its got the 325 with a 3:70
Its funny that we mad 5 runs making 633 nothing more nothing less and No matter what kind of screwed up pass we made it went 138 in the traps (we made nasty looking passes)We think monday I will put In a buddys 9'' continental and test it down in Memphis Thurs. Good thing is the Tune up is good and nothing fell off the car
