Converter flash point and stall correlate?

Sounds great Andrew! Just ran at the track today and could not get more than 2psi and 1500rpm at launch regardless of what I did. I'm having a conundrum whether I should change the converter, or my small charger for something actually proven. If I go the converter route I'll definitely give you a call!
1053
My valley 72/87/1.0 comes to life effortlessly. Can squeeze 10 psi from the 88mm also before it wants to walk the brakes. My 88 has a 112mm turbine too.

My bank hates people like you :hug: I'm going to ride out the whole enjoying a truck that isn't broken for a little while longer before I make my decision. I can almost guarantee a looser converter would help this truck's overall drive ability aspects though. Stupid Colorado air haha.
My utah air isn't much better. Average DA of 7200'. The 1053 made my truck a new animal. Daily driving smoke output is much less, spool ability is way up. I went from the 1055 to the 1053. Absolute night and day difference.
That's great to hear. That leads to another question. How are your trans temps with a looser converter in regards to daily driving? I still have the stock cooler which if I change the converter again a cooler will be manditory for sure.
I am also running stock cooler still. Temps are definitely higher. It hasn't been super hot here yet, mid 70's today and it didn't touch 200°. I have a feeling it will be more in the 210-215 range mobbing around on a hot day. Trans cooler is next on my list.
I am also running roughly high line pressure, around 340psi. Ratiotech spring with 2 new style shims.
I am running 1 shim and the 1054. My temps were up around 190 so I had to cool it down. I called Mike L to get a cooler but never got a call back so I went with a PPE cooler. I am very happy with it and temps are down 30 degrees.
Hot lapping at the track is the only place where I have temp problems with mine. Only a short spurt of airflow then idling the truck doesn't help much. Debated on rigging up a small electric fan for at the track only.
