Thanks guys, yeah I'd really like to know how it would pull with it tighted up. Right now it just hangs and feels like wasted clutch manual setup.

I'll give Chris call at CircleD and see what he tell me. I just hope i'm not out 1000 for a converter that won't hold my power that he recommended to me.

Big Kid I just used what was included in the go pro hero kit. I had to play with it for a second lol, but I got a setup to where I could adjust all directions.

nice runs hopefully circle d gets you fixed up for free since you dropped 1000$ on a converter that was supposed to be perfect for your set up

Id put a trans psi gauge on it first. Your trans and converter should be able to hold that power all day long, even on the first vid it didnt sound right to me. Low trans psi will make the converter looser and not hold the power it should. Id shur think your making enuf power to use a 10.5 but if he said it would hold then it should hold, its not like Chris to get a stall that far off from what i hear.

Update, I spoke with Chris at CircleD yesterday. He offered to re-stall but said if I turn the boost up a couple more PSI the problem may return so suggested to switch over to the 258mm triple disc. I agree, but with the price being the same to buy I wish I would have had that built for me first. I came to him with the same info on the truck, 4600 pounds and dyno graph of 600+ hp/tq, with a goal of around 700HP.

He said he would work with me on the switch to get me setup right. So far it's been good dealing with him, i'll keep you guys posted on how it pans out.

Mangled03 so far nothing has been said to me. I think one thing we got going for use in the south is theres no times showed. So I think the track can let some of us get away with it a little longer without enforcing the cage rule on street cars.

Two step is nice and so far has helped with the best 60 on slicks and with this turbo. Best thing is being able to watch the light and not pay any attention to the RPMS.

So how much time/MPH do you think this converter is hurting me? Would .4-5 and 4-5MPH seem on par? Seems to me I make 600+ tq all in the 5k area, but i'm never in that RPM range. I've always been told TQ is what moves these trucks.
