Trying to figure out if my converter is set up too tight. Feels good and tight up top, but way tight down low. Wondering what everyones setup footbrakes to. Mine literally feels like stock.

Punch off idle spins tires at 2000
Regular footbrake spins tires at 2000
Syty shuffle and ebrake spins tires at 2200
Syty shuffle/ebrake/and pulling 10 degrees of timing spins tires 2500rpms @6psi
Syty shuffle/ locking trans in 2nd gear spins tires at 2900-3000 @8psi

Maybe a hydroboost or 2 step would be a better idea then loosening my converter.

 

anyone?

 

Hydro boost will hold th brakes much better then vacuum brackets.
Not sure what your looking to get out if it.

 

Why are you pulling 10 degrees of timing?

Lean it out and add timing for trying to light off the turbo with an auto.

 

Sounds like its WAY too tight. My 07 with a PI 10 1/2 in 3k would flash to
2200 and syty foot brake to 2800. Changed to a 9 1/2 3k and it would flash to 28-3000. Syty foot brake to 4400 if I held it for a few seconds.

 

Just looking to have a good setup. I am not honestly sure what to be looking for in a turbo converter. I was used to n/a converters. (examples: yank st3500, ss4000, 3200) This damn thing seems tight comparitively. So i figured I'd ask here.

Without yanking timing, it pushes through the brakes instantly at 2100-2200rpms with no boost. I think the timing may just kill enough power to gain a few hundred more rpms.

Thanks! This is the info I was looking for. Lane said this should be close to a 3k. Its a 10" too. I tried locking the trans in 2nd, and I could climb up to 2800-2900 before it spun tires. This was without the timing retard, at 8-10psi.

 

Just a thought mine was a built 60e & 4wd rear mount. I would leave at 8-9 lbs and stay at that down the track. Best of luck to you!

 

You want power getting to the ground...the fact that it spins the tires at such a low rpm means its getting there. If you are spinning at 2000, why do you want to launch at 3000? Converters with FI are not the same as NA converters. With a turbo you want it as tight as you can get it and let the turbo do the work.

 

Wouldn't being able to hold the engine at 3000rpm vs 2000rpm give a better opportunity at building more boost on launch?

 

Yep. But if his tires can't hold now then more boost is not needed.
