i'd be looking at a converter also .. but no way would it be a tighter converter then he has.


Rapptor
I'd do this, go out and see if it shifts @ 7000, if it does you just about guarntee that converter is your issue @ the stripe. A 5500 nitrous converter, should be very tight, do you no the actual stall flash and fallback rpm after shift ?
NO I DONT KNOW RPM CHANGE AT SHIFT. I THINK IT IS ABOUT 500 RPM TIRES CHIRP ..
I SHIFTED THE CAR AT 7200. FELL BACK TO 6900.
well that tells ya everything IMO
it'll go 7200 at the shift with no issues, it'll do it at the finish line.
Someone missed major on that 5500 nitrous converter if the fallback is 6900. Thats very loose for that heavy car. You should look for something around 6000 fallback. You can get away with that in a light dragster/door car but not @ 3200. Typically a 5500 nitrous conv will be very tight,unless it was made for much less hp/trq to start with.
