Default ATTN: THOSE WITH MAGNACHARGER, WHIPPLE, or ROOTS TYPE SUPERCHARGERS

I am just wonering what type of 1/4 mile e.t. and mph improvements these supercharged trucks have seen with converter/trans upgrades? I am also interested in which brand(Yank, PI, etc) you went with. Any information is appreciated.

1-2 second improvement, depending on boost level and other mods.

Just do a search or look at all the people's sigs. You won't be setting any records with those 24's though. Seriously, your truck sounds nice though.

True, 24's do slow you down. But you get noticed.

i'd have to say on average it seems to work out to be 1 1/2 second drop in almost every case.

Cool

Yes, back from the grave for sure. 02-07-2003

But, does everyone really think a converter added to a supercharged truck will drop 1-2 seconds from the 1/4 ET? He was asking about upgrading a converter on a truck that was already supercharged, is he not?

i missed that converter part. .3 is about a good gain for a converter swap.
