I'm not in anyway bashing your tuner...I think Wheatley does great stuff. That seems more like a slight tune issue as far as your track times go. I ran the same converter as you with a 236/242 cam and cut a 1.99 60' with lots of timing cut out off the line. Just thought I'd throw that out there before you give up on that converter

 

its not a bad converter by any means. i cut a 1.84 60' with it, but my shifts fell down to 4100 rpms. plus my new converter i can cut low 1.7s maybe even 1.6s

 

im not gonna give up on it yet..... i plan on putting nitrous on it sometime after the beginning of the year, and i want to see how it flashes, and how the shift extensions are then..... the converter is GREAT on the street

wheatley has been helping me figure out the unimpressive ET's and mph

 

I will get him squared away the best I possibly can.
I also have a new wideband on the way Jeremy,then we'll hook it back up to make sure everything is in line with the new pcm

 

I still think there is something wrong with that converter...

 

the idle issues and the slow et's have been bothering me, so i started digging around.... one of the wires in my maf was bent pretty bad, not sure how that happened, im always careful with that thing. so, i got another one on the way along with an 02 pcm from wheatley. if this doesnt help the et's and 60' the nitrous will

i dont have it yet, but i will in the next couple of months

 

pcm should help...changed my out back when i had a 00. Helped alot.

 

Hey bbls1, where at in deer park do you stay? Ive seen you over by fairmont and beltway several times here lately....

 

I don't think it's the converter. If you only picked up 1 mph after putting in a 224 cam something else isn't right. That converter is definitely not going to hurt performance compared to a 1600 rpm factory converter. Hopefully the maf was the problem.

 

well, i put a new maf, and a ported tb on and it drives much better at part throttle. it definetly needs some tuning with the tb, though. im going to see wheatley tomorrow for my 02 pcm, so hopefuly this works
