Before you go ripping that converter out, you really need to datalog some runs from a dig, gotta know what the truck is doing to know what the truck needs. Also know what afr is down in the lower rpm's. I think it's more than a converter issue, FTI builds really good converters. My 3200 FTI converter cut a 1.5 60' in an ecsb truck.

It will... we still havent logged it and it was his first time out.
His truck makes boost very late in the rev range and something seems to be stopping it from revving as far as it should with that cam IMO. Its almost as though there is a restriction on the top end that makes boost spike... but as we all know boost is purely a measure of restriction. I know centrifigul blower make more boost on the top end, but most I see build at a flat rate, his builds like this as opposed to a steady increase:

Small changes with the parts he already has will get him in the 10's. Unfortunately with his compression where it is I think he really needs meth to push the envelope with timing, boost etc... but once he does it will be a different machine all together. lets not forget this run was done at the end of June... DA I'm sure wasnt bad, but he will see nearly 2500 feet less this fall.

Yea I agree with all that. I would think with the reputation his tuner has he would have that figured out, but I will definitely be on the lookout.
My meth comment is to say that he can pulley down to make more boost sooner, while maintaining more timing. It should fatten up his mid range a lot.

Not saying he's a bad tuner. I worked in a dyno shop for 5 years and tuned alot of vehicles, I've seen alot of tunes. I've seen that done alot where people would set the timing at a certain setting across the board at wot. You'd be surprised at the stuff you'd see from small time tuners to big name shops. The absolute worst tune I've ever seen came from katech.

And he could possibly have added more timing down low, but depending on the dyno he used, it could have more of a load being on the road vs the dyno and could be getting some knock and pulling timing? Just another idea. But the datalog will tell ya what it's doin
