With a 5.00 gear and a glide at a 4800 launch i think it should be lower. RPM thru the traps was 7200. I called a couple of converter guys and the consesus was that the 60' times indicate the converter is tight but the rpm at the big end indicates the converter is loose. The only good info they could use was the mph as an indication of horsepower. The converter is only a 9" though. Would I see a good increase in 60' and ET if i were to buy a 8" custom race converter? Does any of this information make sense? Seen it before? Reccomendations?
Thanks,

IMO 8 inch race converter(really need cam specs),Transbrake leaving at 4800 with a brake stall of 5500.Might be even able to drop the gear alittle to a 4.something with still a high 9 sec. e.t..I'd look for (given everythings right) mid 1.30's to high 30's.Still alot of variables though.
Does the converter you have now max stall around 4800 to 5k?If so ,try leaving alittle lower on the rpm to flash the verter more.
