"Flashing" would be considered the 2500 you're able to rev it up too.

A stalls speed is an estimate of what you can flash it to. Mines a 3,000 stall and I'm able to brake boost to almost that.

I don't think going a little looser would hurt you plowing or towing.

 

I think Graeme is right, a slightly looser converter wouldn't hurt you much at all. I'd like to see you running a 2800 or so. You would flash it higher by a decent margin, but it would be fine doing truck things. His is nearly exactly what its rated to behind a mild 5.3. Once he gets the blower going it will flash a lot higher.

Those are great times. I can't touch either one as I sit. maybe if my damn 102 worked I'd be in the upper 6's but 6.60 is flying. Any idea what their 1/8 and 1/4 MPH is?

The day will come where I run with them. And its not far off.

 

I dunno what their times were I havent seen any videos yet and I didnt see them run. Im sure theres gonna be videos eventually.

After looking through all the manufactures a 2800 from Circle D I think would be what Id go with

Hey I dont know if either of you will be around but SMG Motoring in Mendon, the shop my friend works at, is having a dyno day on the 19th, $50 for 2 pulls, Im going, dunno if ill put it on the rollers or not though

 

Rob's gonna tell you to pick a different converter, he keeps bashing me every time I mention wanting a circle d for my 80.

I won't be back in town until the 21st... which is a shame cuz it would be nice to put my hog on the rollers...

 

What does he run?

 

Yank? I think.

 

Yanks 2800 is 2x the $$ but they have a truck thruster 2600 and a 3000 basically the same price. I wonder if I could ask them to stall the truck thruster to 2800...

I definitely dont want a 9.5 cause that would heat up quick towing from what Ive read. And when I tow its not just a light car most of the time

 

But I just remembered something else, Id like to launch in 2wd cause leaving it in 4wd drops my mph so I might want a looser converter so I can make more rpms before spinning the rear tires. But I also would have to buy real tires first, like I know they make 33x12.50x16 slicks which would fit mint on my truck with some 16x8 or 16x10 rims...

 

I found some pictures a guy took of my truck from the diesel day. I didnt know it lifted the front end that much. My CVs must love me a ton

 

I only bash the budget 278mm converters for the higher power builds. They arent built for it. You need a billet converter. In that case the Circle D and Yank are about the same price.

Pics look awesome!
