JoshH - looking back at the first pass (the only one I got to log) I went through the traps at about 3800 RPM. A couple of other passes I was over 4,000 RPM - next time I'm at the track I'll be logging the TCM to see if the command is given or not so that I know if the Alli Locker is the fix or if I need to send the converter back to SC to have a new clutch put in it under warranty.

Newly, yes with a 68mm Cheetah and single CP3 12.36 was my fastest pass and I don't consider that to be real power. I wasn't coming anywhere close to the limits of what an SC IV is made to handle. I don't know what your stock motor's mileage has to do with this discussion but, ummm congrats:confused:.

As I said I won't go back and forth about the ATS vs SC thing anymore, I have my preference and others have theirs.

Oh I get it...You're saying Mike L. only posts when he's been drinking...

Yes
F U!
Jk newly but I have had good luck with my precision an I no for a fact that they hold up under high hp...
I have heard good things about precision converters. Good luck to you!
No, only ATS converters hold up. Just ask Newly :rolleyes:
Never said ATS converters are the only ones that hold up.

All i said was Suncoast converters are having issues and if it were me i would go with/recommend something else....oh and they have bad warrenty.

My freind Dimitri's 5 star converter is having the same lock up issue's as the suncoast converters are , we had to install a lock up switch to fix it ....... just a FYI. I am not interested in this argument just stating facts for those that are .

no the other way around :D his converter has held though :rofl:, he went through 6 transmissions so far, 4 ATS , 2 no name using alto/transgo parts , and this one so far has lasted longer than the last 4 combined, we have 32 passes on it and dynoed 1100+ HP . I built the trans with Mike L as the mastermind guiding the propper mods to be done . we dont have a updated 1/4 mile time yet but he is in the 6.8's in the 1/8 at our home track in SLC.
