This converter is working exactly like it is supposed to. It just may be too loose for my taste.

Well, I must admit.....This took some getting used to, but it is growing on me. I will keep you all posted.

Trans temps stay at about 150 under normal driving.....and jump up too 180 after a "few" passes. It launches hard, but I have MASSIVE wheel spin.

the pt4200 in my z28 almost feels like i think you're describing...like it feels like it's not pulling very hard when you first get into it. but then i'll look at the speedo and it's climbing from 0-100 in about 8-9 seconds so it's obvious that it's pulling very hard.

Sounds like its a good thing you didn't go with that lower 1st gear!
