Default How high does your converter flash?

To everyone who has repeatedly said that a converter is one of, if not, the best mods out there...YES.

Anyways, when you all stab your throttle to say 40-60%, how high do your RPMS go? Mine will shoot up to 3200 or so but that's about all I can get out of it. I would like for it to go up to 3600-4000 or so. I don't know if this is because I'm still on the stock cam and if so, how much it will change with an aftermarket cam.

i bought mine when i had my 5.3, i ordered a 3200, it flashed to 3300-3400 behind my 5.3 with cam and full bolt-ons, then when i swapped to my 6.0, it flashes to 4k right away... im guessing the more power makes it flash higher?

Light throttle, 1800-2000 rpm. 50-60% throttle or more, even full throttle, 3000 rpm. Pretty impressive to watch the tach stay on 3000 rpm for a bit while the speedo climbs like crazy. The shift extensions are pretty sweet too. LOVE my Yank!!
