Converter multiplication ?
 

I was talking converters to a few guys and they said that I should have told ATI my converter was going in a super stock car as they do some thing different to the multiplication in the converter. Any thought on this? Also, said to check out ultimate converter. Anybody using them and any thoughts or opinions over ATI?

Yes, ATI has a new stator for Super Stock. And yes, you have to tell them the exact combination, fill the spec sheet out completely, and tell them what you're doing, so they can get the converter right. You cannot expect them to guess or read your mind and get it right.

I did have them set it up for my combo with all specs. I was told that they had a little different set up for super stock and was wondering if it would get a better 60'. I have a 5500 stall in it and I feel it doesnt leave hard at all. I am used to sticks thought. Here is the best pass so far.

It looks soft, but without knowing more, it's hard to say why.

I also like Lennie at Ultimate. A good Guy doing a good job.

In the Video I see a 1.40 sixty foot on the board. For reference, my Firebird does a 1.37 sixty foot with a 9.70 ET so you are close.

Why, that ain't no super stock car.

That said, none better IMO than ATI!

Those that think they are, I invite them to step up

The PROOF IS IN THE PERFORMANCE

3124 lbs. n/a and a best to date of 1.17 60 foot launched off the footbrake.

Larry, are you running a glide? I have a glide and always felt the glide was hurting the 60' a little bit. That run was in great air. It usually will go low 10 teens to 10.0's with a 1.43 60' depending on the air.

yes I know its not a SS car but looking to get it to leave a little better. What ET and MPH are you running? Can you post some more specs on your car? I like ATI, no complaints, just curious of the info I was hearing.

Re: Converter multiplication ?
 

If you have questions as to whether your current converter is optimum for your combo speak to Charlie Plott at ATI.

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?
