That converter was spec'd for a blower so I wouldnt expect it to make a big difference NA. Same with my converter, its pretty tame and I wouldnt like to run it NA but with the blower Im sure itll flash it on up to where I want it. Your triple disc will be awesome with the blower so you can lock it at WOT and really see a gain there.

Yes, indeed it was. It's a 2600, & when I hold the brake, & bring it to 2600, that's dead nuts where it starts breakin em loose after the cam. I hope so Cody.

I also thought it might stall to stall 3000, post blower.

Should be good enuff to take out a 6L on the East Coast. ...no matter what size cam he eventually goes with. ...Or for that matter, what he re-stalls it too.

Tom, I'd shift at 6300 on the 1-2, and 6200 on the 2-3, just my .02. I still think that you should have dropped 2-3 tenths with that converter, but as you mentioned the conditions were different and no trans tuning was done

Forgot the member's name, but he went low 12s years ago on a 4.8 radix with bone stock everything, trans, stall. Said he had many, many track passes on it.

I dont remember that... Best I remember is flyer running a high 11 all boost on a 5.3, turbogibbs ran a mid 12 with a 4.8 but wouldve been a few tenths faster if it wasnt a manual. Both setups had full supporting mods and cammed.

If youd quit being a pansy Tom I bet you could run a high 11 second pass.

Hit a new PB tonight. Twice.

Beat my previous best, prior to cam on tonight's 2nd run. I then beat that.
Ran in the 14's on all runs. I'm gonna do a thread in the Drag Race section & link it to here, but it might not be til tomorrow. Kinda tired.

Here's the dyno sheet from Sunday after the cam & tune.

I'm new to this scanning thing, & someone helped me out w/. it. So anytime u scan a dyno sheet or ET slips, u have to save into photobucket?

Or are u guys doin it a different way?

Here's my 3 runs, in order. I'm #295.

I'll now post it in Drag Racing section, but w/. more details. I got there late cause I had to work some extra. It threw a wrench in my plans. I feel there's more in it.

Here's that link:
