What tranny do you run? Converter? My stock 4l60e and ss4000 just arn't working too well with FI.

Thanks, I'm running a 400 trans and a Coan converter. I'm going to switch the converter, it's slipping too much on the top end.

Could the slippage be increased due to you running a 3.25 gear?

Yeah, mines slipping a ton but I'm on a stock 4l60e with a SS4000, not exactly the best for FI. 167s even better than people realize if your converters slipping that much. I'm pretty sure I'm going to just switch to a th400 too. I heard Neal Chance makes some real nice converters so I might look into those.

Absolutely. We could all swap in 4.10's and run 1/8 mile tracks from now on.

Maybe? It seems excessive. I think that if I switch to a 3.50 gear that I'll run out!

It's the converter. I'm running a 3.00 gear and +3800lbs....much less power than you but Neal Chance (Marty) can make an efficient converter.

I've heard a ton of bad feedback about chance, but if it's working for you than more power to ya.

I've never owned one and don't plan on to either

Probably not a single best out there. Just look at the 7,8,low9 turbo guys on the list and you'll see Chance (my favorite), MidWest,PTC,Coan,Hughes,etc...pros and cons to all of them...finding somebody that will make one for your car is key to a turbo converter.
