just wondering, no one seemed to have picked up on that convertor. why is that?

 

Good question. I guess at that point they just go ahead and get one of the TPs.

 

hmmm.
I know one guy who was going to get a ST4000 but got shipped a 3500 and liked it so it didn't send it back. I wonder what the other guys who said they were getting one did?

 

I got a 3800 from Ryan K. Does that count? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Best investment I have made. 1.6 60' spinnin the hell out of BFG DR's.

Stu, what gears was that done with?

 

They upgraded to the 4400.

 

but is there anything wrong with it?

 

1.54 60ft with bolt ons and ST4000 here, 28x10 Hoosiers and 4.10's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

damnit travis! get off the net! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

also i heard there was chattering problems with this unit. mike took it off the line. not much more info other than that.

 

From what I understand, the chattering issues were with the Super Thrusters, not just the ST4000, I have not had any chattering problems with mine.

 

Colonel, 3.73's at Cecil co. in MD. If it hooks its a 1.5 easy.

Thanks. That means mid 1.6s with 3.23s I would think. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

And you don't have any issues with clutch chatter? Say, don't you feel the need to upgrade to a TP4400 or something? (I gotta find me a ST3800 for sale that doesn't chatter!)

I would love to upgrade to a 4400 Colonel but I think the 3800 is perfectly suited to my combo. I installed it and only lost about half a MPH and I gained 2 tenths with no traction.

If I go 4400 I will have to get a cage. I will stay at 12.0's for now and worry about the cage when I stop flyin so danged much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Appreciate the offer tho. BTW, hows the NBM monster comin together? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Are you saying that you lost a MPH by going from the stock converter to the ST3800? You should have gained a MPH or better from the swap I would think.

I'll keep updating the project in my "Colonel's next project car" thread in the racer's lounge. Right now she's still %100 stock. Just getting a few break-in miles before the weekend. If tropical storm Isidore will hurry the hell up and get out of Alabama by tomorrow night I'll get some baseline runs and maybe a couple of runs with FRA, then lid, and then K&N. Next weekend will be FTRA, the next will be the underdrive pulley, the next an electric cuttout, and then it's on to a set of drag radials and a TQ converter. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I only lost "BEST" MPH. I ran a best of 113 before with my TCI and ran a best of 112 with the ST3800.

The only verter I have had that I lost MPH with is the Vig3600. I lost 2 full MPH with it.

Good luck with the car. Are you anywhere near Altus, OK? I am comin down there for school in Jan
I would love to see that motor up close. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
