Glenn,
On my 3200 lb V-6 I used the maxed out 1.98 PG converter and went to a 2.12/1.35/1 Proflite. It picked up about .02 in low gear then it picked up the rest in second gear. .07 for a total of what happened in hi gear. of .1 to .11 on a consistant track. We noticed the converter was quite a bit tighter on the gera changes and leavingthe line. so I tried 2 other converters that were always too loose for the PG. the best one put the stall back up about 50 below what my PG ran with. It also picked up another .04. The second gear made a big difference in racing too. because with the pg it was like the car was hanging there when side by side, I think the extra gear (2nd) made it harder for another racer to pace my car. BTW my V-6 makes about 660 hp @ 9200. I think it helped the finish line charge, too. MPH went up when the right converter was in it.
