You misunderstood me...the time slip above and many like it were with the ATI convertor before it was cut open and inspected/altered. This past Saturday night was the first time the car had been run with the altered ATI convertor. I could tell no difference in the way the car reacted and I'm sure the tweak was a minor one. The only reason it was sent off to be cut/inspected was to confirm if we had a convertor problem or not. It was my partners idea to have them tweak it while open...not something I personally would have done. Anyway, I'm working on another Q-jet right now which will run much leaner than the previous carbs. It will have an experimental accell. pump mod that I will describe later if it proves beneficial.
