Default Cheap restalled convertor + Radix =



This stock convertor was set up to make a 2500 RPM (or so) stall for a guy with a LS1 F-body. He didn't like it so I had the good fortune to get the deal This convertor lets me launch at about 2950 with all the torque the Radix is pumping out.

My stock convertor used to launch me at about 2250 at best. that was good for low 2.0 60 ft times. I wonder what this one will give me... 1.9's? Maybe a 1.8? We'll be finding out soon

Many thanks to Ellis at Speed Secrets for the hook up on the convertor and invaluable work on the install!

Get out of the way... here comes 3 1/2 tons ready to run you over

Thing is it still doesn't really smoke the tires... Spins em a couple of short feet, activates traction control (programmed to zero... no override button on the H2), and MOVES OUT. Anything not tied down flips to back of the truck That includes passengers, dogs, and stuff
