I think getting it restalled should be your first priority. Having the converter spot on is even more important with a glide. What does the car weigh?

Any results yet? Have a buddy with a similar setup and trying to help him decide if he wants to swap from Th400 to glide setup.

Nice.
The lower you put the 2 step the harder it will hit. (lets the motor get a run at the stall point)

What rpm does the converter go to on the launch and what rpm drop do you have on the shift? I sent my converter to PTC to have it tightened 800 rpms. Got it back took the launch from 70% to 50% and it stood up and broke a limiting chain. After the broken parts are fixed I'm excited to get it back out.

So the converter stalled at 4000 before and now at 3800? I was thinking it needed to be loosened. What does the rpm jump to on the nitrous and what do you shift at and what does it drop to?

3500 is a good middle ground starting point.
Once you get it dialed in then try 3300 and 3700 and see if it likes either one better. Every car likes something a little different just need to find out what yours likes.

I agree with him.

You can also drain 3-4 qts and replace it with hyd fluid (hyguard) and it will tighten it another 100-200rpm roughly.
