Be prepared to provide him with factual data, including but not limited to what does the converter flash to on launch, what RPM does it fall back to on the gear change(s) and what RPM is it crossing the stripe at and the only way you'll know this is with a playback tach or data logger.

As to my car's specs...

522 BBC, turbo400, 4.57 gear.

Slowed to run low 9.0's all season long at near 150

More importantly what are the specs of your car/combo?

X2, Got to agree with ED there

Charlie Plott was the only one who could get my converter right a while ago, They kept it @ 4200-4400

Charlie looked at it and mentioned some ss cars, took the converter @ no charge and brought it back and said its loose enough and has the proper stator now

When in doubt ask for Charlie and if he is busy leave a message

One of the nicest guys out there. Art is the one who specd it @ 4200-4400

I've sold probably 200 of their converters, and don't remember having one be too far off. There are no "off the shelf" race converters from ATI. Each one is custom built to an individual application, from all new parts.

I had a problem with one ART did, all others have been dead on
