we took the car for more testing on Friday, it was spinning the tyres all the way down the track was still running 9.4@148. we have to change to a stiff wall slick. we have spoken to a few people and they all believe the converter is stuffed, its not locking up it was revving up over 7000rpm. the converter is slipping in the range of 25+% instead of 10%. with the 3.5 diff gears crossing the line at 6300rpm he is going over at 7500rpm. should be running high 8's to very low 9's @ around 157-160mph. gotta love the fact he drives it there and it's on pump fuel BP Ultimate.
