help. Does this sound about right? Hey Everyone. Ok, my car averages about 12.85 in the 1/4 at 109mph w/2.0 60' on street tires. I recently installed a PY3600E torque converter with a 2.75 str. It seems to stall around 3200. I ran my car at the track tonight, and couldn't get traction, so I let someone who knows how to drive drive my car. He pulled a 1.85 60' out 5 times in a row on those same tires, and cut consistently in the 12.8 range at 105mph!!!!. Those times seem to be MUCH worse. Is it purely because I can't launch as hard now with the verter as I did before the verter? I personally was pulling 13.4's in my car with a 2.4 60' and still 105mph traps. Any thoughts/theories as to what is going on? Thanks in advance.

Re: help. Does this sound about right? sounds like you conveter isn't as efficent on the top end.....
but judging from you other post you having tranny issues so that could be it also...
but a converter will help your 60's with good tires...
