 Level 10 Stall Converter
Just got out to the track with Level 10 converter for the first time. My 60' times improved to 1.816 on Goodyear Eagle GTIIs, but my 1/4 time only improved by 1/2 tenth and I lost 5 MPH. Is that normal to lose that much power on the top end with the converter? Judging by the short times, I don't think the problem is with the launch. What RPM should I leave the line at? I didn't expect to lose 5MPH. I did have a set of slicks and a jack in the bed, but I didn't think it'd slow me down that much. Here's the numbers:
R/T .542
60' 1.816
330 5.348
1/8 8.371
MPH 80.02
990 10.978
1/4 13.350
MPH 97.77
Another good point, its the first time I got consistent .5-- lights. There is hope for the driver, hehe!
