Hey MARK,,,you want to leave anywhere from 700 to 1,000 below flash..this is where you will get the most performance out of your converter and the reson they are built this way..yo may have to play with it a little to find the sweet spot..a transbreak will aloow a little higher flash..
hope this helps..

I could get up to about 3200 out of it if I tried but like I said it ran better at 2600.

My converter will fullout brake stall to 6000 on the trans brake with no chip. With the setup we run the car likes to leave between 4200 and 5000 depending on track conditions. Haven't been able to keep it stuck any higher than 5000 with a 10 inch slcik. 4500 hundred seems to be the best all around RPM for us at most tracks.
