spoke to FTI, PTC, and Pro-Torque this morning about the converter being restalled or changed. Everyone is on the same page that i should have a balloon plate or billet front cover converter with the torque/spray.

FTI quoted me pretty quick. Lookin like a 9" SST with mechanical diode so if i eventually want to go to a trans brake i can. around a 3600 stall on motor and should flash to mid 4000's on spray. current converter is only flashing to 3000 on spray and i am seeing 1500-1700rpm drop on shifts, both on motor and spray, so too tight all around for the new cam

Just ordered an FTI SST 9" custom converter. Mechanical diode but will be able to use the same converter when i go trans brake.

What torque # are you using for the converter? The old one was ~800 lb-ft to push it to 5,000 RPM. Worked on the chassis dyno, and from a roll.

When you pull the old one, let me know if they included the anti-balloon plate. I suspect lack of a plate might have contributed to the problems Baxter had with the rear main on his 1,350 HP Gen 1 (Dart Iron Eagle block) build from Second Street.

i didnt give them a torque number, because everything from the nitrous to the cam is different now. there was no real benefit to run the car that high up on that small cam, the car would have probably been quicker if the converter was even tighter on the old cam, since that cam made tons of torque down low.

i gave them all the specs on the new cam setup and engine, planned shift point etc. they agreed that this converter with the billet cover, balloon plate, mech diode and a 27 pitch stator should stall on motor to around 3800 and not hamper the spray. an in between of sorts. the cam Lloyd spec'd now wants to be shifted at 6800-7000. the old cam was out of steam by 6200 (from the data). datalogs also showed the nitrous wasnt hitting until about 0.75 seconds into the run. we need it hitting earlier.

it pulls so hard from 6000 up on motor now, its like a chainsaw

im also gonna play with instant center and anti squat at the track. i think it hits a radial a little too hard and its trying to wad the tire up
