Ok i think andre has one free restall, you guys know my mods, i think. well with the pcm programming and everything else do you think the 3600 stall wil be to much? should i get it restalled to 3300-3400? i told andre about all my mods including pcm progamming and he said ths is my best choice and guarantees excellent results?

[hawgs]

what are you mods?

[slacker69]

With a cam i would say you are ok cause the of the tq curve shift

[hawgs]

with a cam a 3600 would be good, but with a stock one look at the results the edge 3600 is putting down...

It's a traction problem really. The STR is also at 2.66, that is part of the deal... You can light up nittos at part throttle in Evan's car. I have driven the car personally, haven't raced it at the track, but I have a feel for how it drives.

3600 stall may be ok for you, I might try a little lower... just make sure you don't go crazy with teh STR unless you have a way to get traction.

DOnt tell me it is traction and nittos are not enghough i can pull a 1.7 60 foot on my nittos spraying a 75 shot out of the hole. Sorry to tell you that. I never spin when i spray a 75 shot out of the hole.

i've told 4 people "the results the edge 3600 is putting down..." and no offense, but you aren't one of them; please don't make incorrect assumptions.

ok, matt doesn't have to tell you, but i will. i know what my damn car does with nitto's on it, and i know that i very rarely hook. i probably shouldn't be having traction problems, but nevertheless, i am.

slow--i think with the advance in your torque curve, i would go with 3600 at LEAST, maybe even 3800. but it's all whatever you want to do. i think a million people could give you their opinions, but you can't know the results unless you just get the converter.

the 3600 converter you are talking about is a lot of fun on my car to tell you the truth. my shift extensions are pretty high, at WOT i rarely drop below 4500 rpms at the bottom of the shift. but if your rev limiter gets moved up, and your torque curve also, then i wouldn't worry about it. a higher shift extension is what you want in that case.

i have road runner service and the message board is no longer accessible from my computer, so i probably won't be able to see this thread anymore. i'm on a friend's computer now. but slow, if you have any more questions, just email me.

i was just going off what i saw on the timeslip page of a 14.98, i apologize if this is an incorrect assumption. if this is incorrect please share what it does do, for the benifit of us all.

yes, this is incorrect as of the current date. the night i ran my best time, i was hitting constant 14.7s and 14.8s all at about 89 mph. doh! i even had an 89.9 mph, so close to 90!

i had been stalling absolutely none that night, just flooring it off the line (where the str is the greatest, and thinking this would be the best technique for me) and was hitting these decent numbers.

using the above technique, i was consistently hitting 1.97, 1.98, 2.01 60ft's. once i tried to stall to 3500 :eek: ...not a good idea, and my nitto's didn't like that. oddly enough, i spun a 2.2x 60ft and somehow managed to hit my best time of the night :cool: interesting, huh?

driving torque converted cars correctly is much like women--hard as hell to figure out, but once you got it, a whole hell of a lot of fun :cool:

i'll let you guys know when i've figured my converted car out, and if i hit better numbers, then a "score!" for me. otherwise, no harm done, i think i can still share and explain my thoughts on converters anytime i feel obligated too.

slowbraeater--sorry for interupting your thread and changing the subject :D best of luck to you with the converter!

ross--does this answer your question?

WOT--i'm not sure about that. i'll have to do that later. it's pretty high, i would say around ~4500 rpms, but i don't know the exact number.

why?
