1058 With 475 Single Issue

Let's put it this way, I have an air fitting installed in my distribution block just to make it that much easier
X2. Daily driving it does awesome. Hits 55 psi of boost pretty quick. I don't think it is a tuning issue. No matter what changes are made it still stops at 1800rpm..
That's exactly how I feel. If anyone else drove my truck they'd understand just how good the tuning and the setup works. This has literally been the only issue I've ever had with the converter. All that being said, I've got a K converter sitting in a box on the floor of my bedroom.
Mine builds boost just fine. Stalls to 2200-2300. My issue is with the brakes. Burnouts are real easy, and it goes to 10 psi in a few seconds. My cousins truck has a 72/87/1.0 with a 58 and itll go to 20 and launch violently. Its not easy and requires some playing with the throttle. That being said, more stall would help. My next TC will be a 1053-1.
1053-1 is an absolute animal. 1053 is no longer and superseded by the 53-1. A load of new converters/product will be launching over the next year
You're loading the motor entirely different when driving vs trying to brake spool it. It's just a honest suggestion, there's almost ALWAYS more to be had in the tuning of big singles. The only way it is ever done right is with the professional sitting in the seat with you for a few hours or more.
I feel like if it takes that much trouble, you have the wrong converter. At least the wrong one for racing anyway. You may be totally correct, but swap converters to something with 200-300 more rpm of stall and it's makes it much easier.
All I know is that switching from a 1058 to a Goerend K converter helped my truck a lot. I have since switched to the LL converter and it sees right at 3000 stall. Negative timing also helps in spool rpm.
These were my exact same results as well. Smoke output is way down, drivability is way up and it spools very easy.
I'm going to try a 1053. Local shop has one in hand that they will swap for cheap. I think either way it will be a better option then the 58
I am by no means saying that the 1058 is right for your goals, my complaint would be too harsh pf lockup causing the possibility of falling under the charger. Rpm is your friend with that turbine. I really liked the driveability of the 75/83 with a 1055 and the tuning was less than great at that point.
Got the 1053 in it today. Night and Day difference. She spools like she did when it was stock with a hot tune. Can get it to 16psi quick before it wants to push through the brakes. A lot less smoke while driving and does not have as hard of lock up as my 1058.
Damn I wish you would have done this a week ago. I would of bought your 1058 instead of the new one off of husker. I assume that's where you got your 1053?
