1.12 atleast but when I ran 8.0;s with my bb it'd go 1.10
6000 is a touch tight also, which would normally 60ft faster. Is it a 8 or 9" converter? Setup for a heavy door car vs a light dragster though. I assume JW said it would work good ?
I think you may of just stumbled on to slow on the reactions. I have several different converters for my car, one that will go 1.02 60ft, or as slow as 1.12 both run 7.50ish or faster. Delay is about 35 different between the 2 of them.
