Converter Temp Effect on ET

Dean Feiock · 09-25-2012, 02:38 PM

Has anyone seen drastic changes in ET due to changes in converter temperature?
If so, do you think is a product of the type of fluid or the converter design?

I ask because last weekend, my car magically picked up ET again. Had a bad pairing in round 2 so we had a quik rerun. I cooled my car some but engine temp was actually warmer on the second run that it was on the previous run. No other changes. Runs were made within 15 minutes of each other.

The first run in round 2, the ET was 11.918, run out the back door.
The second run in round 2, the ET was 11.843, and I lifted some.

My car always seems to gain ET when back to back runs are made. I believe I have this narrowed down to converter temp but I don't know why it's happening.

Ideas??
