If you let it boost build at the line it doesn't have to be that loose. Mine is a 9 1/2" PI and it freakin' rocks. Flashes to about 2800-3000 but if you wait a couple more seconds...look out. I am still wondering what lag is any time I hit it after it's warmed up with the wrapped exhaust. I guess my converter is loose enough that I don't seem to experience lag or maybe I'm dumb enough to not no what it is.
That new ZO6 that I smoked till half track in warm weather got a taste of a 5300 lb 4wd turbo on 20's with a good converter, but I'm just a lowly rear mount so what do I know.
Still I have to admit a front mount probably would need a bit less converter IMHO. Good luck and happy racing.

But for track use a bigger one will be better.

I'll agree.My own truck would full spool at 2k rpm.I could brake boost it to 5lbs on the stock converter.My new setup runs a 1800 stall which feels like a stocker.Full boost from a stop takes about 20-30' puching it.I can brake boost it for full boost launch no problem.

I currently have a stock stall and 3.73 gears... and get near instant full boost from a dig. I'm gonna try a Vig 3200 with my 4L80E along with a bigger turbo. We'll see how it works out

I wish i knew how a stock stall felt with my turbo, helped alot with the procharger but not sure the diff with it and the turbo. stock wouldprobably work better for me since I tow but im too lazy to swap back, lol.

Probably because i'm rear mount, when I had a converter that was as tight as the stock one (2000), 3.42's and only 5 psi, it sucked REALLY bad. As I recall I dropped .65 in the eighth going to 4.10's. In my case, at low boost it was a DOG out of the hole.
