how much loss in the converter for that?

We got a 3.40 gear and it's just tickling 8k-8100 for 189 on a 30" tire. Convert is stupid efficient at that RPM too. That was even after i loosened it up from how Marty set it up initially.

I think we'll be in the sweet spot to nip 200 this year

David you still run the PT88?? Tough to get 1100rwhp out of one of those units. Spin it to the moon crank the timing up and spray Meth would be the best short.

LOL, well unfortunately their is nothing out there that will fit in the place of that unit. The unit is a very compact piece and its stuffed in about the smallest package that can still work.

Great numbers! What engine size is that LSx? Do you have to do any special balancing to spin at those speeds?

Its bigger than a 427. I couldn't tell you on the balancing, my motor guy handles that.

I've known Joe for a couple years and have used his dynojet for all of the camaros/corvettes we've done. It was nice having a 2nd set of eyes on the tuneup.
