Opinion on what converter will act like with rear gear chan

Jeff Stout · 01-20-2017, 04:29 PM

Installed a RPM datalogger and have noticed my converter is about 200 rpm's to tight. I currently have a 4.30 rear gear and going to change to a 4.88. Will the converter become tighter due to not working so hard ( lack of a better term) with the 4.88? I have a converter that is about 400 rpm's looser then the one in the car now and the motor is out and can change quickly. Thanks in advance Jeff

yes more gear will make the convertor flash at a lower rpm.
