Do you know what the stall flash is and the recovery after shift ?

I think 4:88 is to much, I used to run a 355 sbc that'd go 5.40s with a 4:10 gear and 60ft 1.15-6 no issue, took me 3 converter changes to get there though.



the guy who built my trans and converter says its not the trans or converter,go figure,,everyone else says it is not my motor,,so the guy that built my trans has a 456 gear that was only run one week at pinks,so i'm buying it for $150 and trying it,,i'm still saying it could be a tight converter,,,steve
I also agree on a tight converter You knew my thoughts already,
Example, 5400 stall flash way tight on mine 1.130 60ft, 5900 still tight but 1.065 60ft makes a huge difference. Remember you can tune some 60ft into it with the 4 link.
