Yea previous numbers sound about right. Just converter swap. Flexplate didn't fit. TB didn't make any difference so went back to 90 TB. straight 91 octane.

So the 102 made no change? I wouldn't have guessed that. Interesting. This was at 14psi? Thats a hell of a gain for a converter swap, I like it. I will say my PI is very efficient as on topend at my shiftpoint with it unlocked I am only seeing around a 250rpm slip.

Damn TBSS's are sexy. Are you running a radial on the back?

Don't have the Maggie anymore. Down to two 2.9 whipples, a ZL1 1900, and on the way a 3.4 whipple.

295/45/20 Yokohama radial tires. Been having way too much fun trying to get traction. 60-120 comes really fast.

How do the brakes perform? The stock set up sucks, I get mine to fade really quick. I have power slot rotors and hawk carbon metallic pads. My 2500 stops better. I can't wait for you to throw on the sticky tires and get some time slips. I leave mine on all the time with the factory 20's. 10" in the back. To squirrely with out them. I bet your having a blast.

Brakes are amazing, one of the best mods I've done. Here's a pic of her with the rear 18" drag combo.

Supermaro- Mark is the one with the TBSS that we talked 80E stuff about last year when I spoke with you. His 80E and PI converter combo is working great so far, same combo I have. Your should like your converter.

Nice. I was wondering who he was when you mentioned him. Yea this PI converter is amazing. The power is there from the start.

Next mods we were thinking about is either add meth or convert to Flex. I'm leaning towards flexfuel.
