If the same converter is used in low gear comparisons the results may be slightly off. A 1.76 low gear will work the converter harder leaving than a 2.18, the 2.18 will work the converter a lot harder on the high gear shift. At one time I bracket raced an A/SA some, when on slick tracks I would leave in 2nd gear and always saw more quite a bit more flash.
