Spraying with a PT-4400? I am going to hookk up my NOS 5177 kit this weekend. I want to know if anyone here runs or has a friend that sprays with this TC and if they have any problems.
My motor is eventually going to be more of an N/A setup since there is no real point in setting up for nitrous unless I'm gonna run a big shot.
My Heads are ARE S2 w/ 226/234-.554/.575-112 cam. I can use LS1 Edit to tune but I here comflicting stories about the TC being too loose and will flash too high, then others say it WILL work, just not as well as say a nitrous TC.
Any thoughts from real experiences?

Re: Spraying with a PT-4400? I ran 10.84@124 on a dry 125 shot with this converter a couple of years ago.
I think with a PY3400 I would have run a 10.6@126 or better. The PY4400 stalled WAAAAAAAAY too high all the way down the track. I would shift at like 6200 and the tach would only pull back to about 5900.

Re: Spraying with a PT-4400? I understand.
I am not really expecting a whole lot on the spray. I wanted this car to be more N/A but I won't be able to hit 10's without spray so I figure if I can get 50rwhp out of a 125shot then I wouldn't complain. If anything I can always have my TC restalled like Terry is thinking about doing and make it a PT4000. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Spraying with a PT-4400? You had the PY4400 or a PT-4400?
I figure it won't be a GOOD one for nitrous but if it is workable and will allow me to get into the 10's if I can run 11.60-11.50 N/A then I would be happy.
I really want it for the top end charge in 3rd gear for freeway games. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
