Sure doesnt seem like it.Am going to T&T Wed to try a couple things.-----But still--will going from 4:56 to 3:91 slow down the cars R/T? with everything else being the same? I have a new converter here I just got (BTE) Havent had time to swap it out.Will a looser converter slow down R/T?
Yes, to the question directed to me. Some of the guys over on the .90 side (Super Street ) are coming out WFO at 5-6000 to get a light on the .5 tree.

The gear change effect would be miniscule, the way I see it.
Yes, it is possible to tailor a converter flash loose and then hit hard, but I don't think that's your problem.
Won't the car idle at 1500?
