Converter question

jamie2370 · 02-09-2015, 12:04 AM

305/263 85 Camaro. How bad would it kill the combo if the converter only flashes 4200. I know I need a converter and I am actively searching for one for this combo. I know a lot of other things come into play but a well known carb change, changed intake from an untouched to a good one and nothing changes what it runs.

Jamie, I don't like to make predictions and generally don't but in this case I'd have to say..A lot.

That's an HO 4 bbl? How much duration?

The cam is the 175hp H.O. version, the two motors are rated only 1hp apart. Other than cam the rest of the motors are identical. It is supposed to be one of the latest bullet versions. It was in motor when I got car. Should be around a 50 under car but getting TO the index is my first goal, LOL. Converter is def junk, can't even "bow" it over 2500.

Mark, I was told Jeff Warren freshened the motor so I am waiting on info on the cam from his nephew who I got the car from.
