Default this whole time i thought i had a 3600 converter

WRONG!!! just got off of the phone with howard at howards converts (the guy who builds fuddle converters)

john at fuddle told me i was getting a 3600 converter...howard just told me its around 3000. complete BS!

anyways i just told howard to stall it 500 higher than whatever it is and he said no problem guess i will actually have a 35-3600 converter now??? cant wait to see the results.

1.69 on a 3k converter isnt bad though IMO

it was built off of AP2002's converter... it was suposed to be a 3200 for a 5.3, but now the actual builder is saying that its smaller. we pull just about the same 60' times. ap's are a hair better.

anyways AP gets to see how my converter will do now and can decide on where he wants to go from there we are usually test dummies for each other since our combo's are so close.

i could only muster 1.88 60' times on the TB converter. im sure it will do awesome on the nitrous out of the hole with the scsb though.

what happened to the yank?

the yank went bye bye.
i didn't want to push a 9.5" converter while pulling around a car and a trailer.

i'm thinking it will do better on the nitrous with this one.

Was the nitrous blowing through your last verter?

no i don't think so.
my way of feeling things, is that it was maybe too much converter for the n2o, displacement, and powerband.
