I'm messing with you calling it a terd.

Yes if you want it to be all out with an 82 jet you'll need at least a 5,000 stall. Probably 5500 would be even better.
With a vic jr. you need to shift it at 8,000 and it shouldnt be any different on a 82 jet thats not a ton of nitrous. There is a ton left in your set up if you get the right parts.
We used Coan and PTC last year with great results.
I would call a few plaes and talk to some guys and go with who ever you feel most comfortable with.

Will Do. How much does one of those converters cost? Thanks for the help.

$800 or so and worth every penny, it will make or break your whole set up ..... no problem.

How tight of a converter are you guys running ATV? Mine is a TURD on motor, it's around 3200.... On the jug it's great though. It's not a big dollar converter but it has been great and the customer service I received was second to none. Edge is an awesome company to deal with.

Ours will stall to about 5500 when you stand on the trans brake.

Your leaving some on the table if it is truly that tight ....IMO.

Interesting,you leave off a 2 step im guessing?? usually where? 3-4?

We are at 4000 on the brake 800 drop on the 1-2, 1000 on 2-3 with about 4-5% slippage. Just sent the logs to FTI and see what they think.

Yes, 3400 off the 2 step.

What kind of 60' times are you going? How much spray? Maybe they can loosen up the stall and keep the lock up down track where it is.

Down track seems to be right on.

Yea thats around what I thought.

My sixty foot was 1.390 with only 725psi bottle pressure, so we cant necessarily judge the first sixty foot yet, but by the video we have it seems we might need to loosen it up on the low end. Gonna make a couple more passes and go to 200 at the hit and see how it does and then send them the logs again.

I feel it is pretty hard to get it perfect right out of the box, you want a converter builder that will work with you to make it perfect based on logs etc.

We like to get it right down trak and we can make it do what we need out of the gate with N20, 2 step, timing , ETC.

We swapped converters 4-5 times last season, it helps to have 2 and your right having someone work with you makes a big diff.

Kinda newb question here seeing as im in the process of swapping to a TH400, but how would a 3800 fuddle on a Tbrake do in a cam only car with a small shot(less then 200). The person im getting it from says it flash's to around 4200 on the brake. Im not expecting anything dramatic on motor but sub 1.60s would be nice.


Sorry if this is a hijack, but it seems to be inline with the topic

Gotcha, I cant hit it with a lot at the hit because of the stock bottom end(200 or so) so im kinda limited there. so I was thinking of loosening it up at the hit to try to get it to sixty better and try to keep the same down track as it seems pretty dead on.

Also thinking of putting more timing in it on the brake and then slowly ramping it back out to where we need it. Also maybe put a 2 step on it to get more flash out of it. Not really sure, just things that were floating around in my head as ideas.

4-5 is a lot, but if you keep picking up it is totally worth it. doesnt take long to change converters once you get used to it either.

Timing will help push a tight converter.
Get a 2 step for sure, big help.

camscam02

iTrader: (21)

Gotcha! will add that to the list. Thanks again for letting me pick your brain. lol

Ill prolly pm you on the timing stuff If I ever need to use it.

wow this thread is proving usefull, ive been racking my brain on weather to pull the 2 step off my car or not.

camscam02

iTrader: (21)

You cant really answer the question. my guess is it might be a tad loose, but with out trying it you will never know.

There, now the thread is very useful for you. haha
