Don't mean to but in on this Post but how do you check to see if your converter is slipping
Thanks Andy

Marco Abruzzi is building a fantastic converter at a very, very reasonable price.

[((rpm X tire diameter)/(rear end ratio x trans ratio x mph x 336))-1] x 100 or use the caculator on TCI's website......

Not typical of bracket racers but we have four Neal Chance converters. 2 bolt together and 2 welded. Marty has been a big help to us every time. They have always performed well and all are very consistent.

ive heard good news of neal chance converters. marty is over at dragstuff if u guys wanna check that out...

i run a blue (light special) converter too...was told its a sonic(?) i have trust in my trans guy, thats what he sold me, sofar its ok,maybe im sitting on a time bomb...?

car doesnt see alot of time, but when full nitrous is going its about 1100 hp at the crank in a 3000lb car rolling down track

I see several big names
TSI ,TCI, ATI,BTE, Abruzzi, Coan, Chance, Continental, Hughes, PTC and one round blue one or maybe 2

but I didn't see anyone mention gaines from a previous converter. I also didn't see a major slant for one converter manufacture or another. I was hoping to see a lot more posts so readers can get a feeling for what everyone is running.

Other brands that I know drag racers are running but didn't see any posts for are Edge, JW, FTI, TCS and others.

Keep them coming guys. The more information that is on here the more helpful it will be to all.

Thanks.
