Headed out for some shakedown

Yes, the brake was to the floor. Accel pedal was around 50%. The hydroboost is brand new and I just got done flushing the fluid 5 minutes before that vid. I'm gonna replace the power steering pump soon.
It's also real lazy around town unless the converter is locked.
When I bought the converter 3 years ago Suncoast had it listed as a 1900 stall. Now it says 2100 on there. I don't know whats up with it. Even with the stock charger and the 4094vvt, 2100rpm was about max and could only get 10-12 psi no matter what I did with the tuning.
lol. Building boost is fine. SOB lights quick. It just wants to go as soon as it hits 10 psi and 2100 rpm. I can't get that "jump" it needs. It's like the coupling is all wrong. It needs 25-2600 to really shoot out of the hole.
The 1058 works well for me. It or the 1055 would be the better on from Suncoast. They can make the stall different for each numbered converter. You aren't stuck with having to change if there is a particular quality in one converter that you like. The 1058 does have a harsher lockup than a lot of the others. It really depends on throttle position when driving around as to how harsh though.
Maybe we'll try that one. There's absolutely zero info about it on their site.
I wonder if they can make my 54 into a 55 or 58?

Went 11.76@115 with a 1.69 60' and I was doing everything in my power to hold it there. I think this converter is about shot. It blew through so bad on the way home I watched RPMs go to 3500 and the truck didnt move. Got the Range Shift Inhibited message when I got home. This thing is really strong on the top end, cant wait to throw some more fuel at it after the trans is done.
I have some vids and I'll post the slips tomorrow. I'm tired and going to hit the couch.

Here's a video of the two best passes. The 'Vette was a 427 and slow. The Camaro ran a 10.95 and I was surprised how well I kept up with a 10 second car.

[/URL]This is leaving around 22-2300 with 1054 and 472...other than spring clamps suspension is stock.
83 turbines tend to be a little easier to light
What is Chris running for a turbine and housing?
87/.90
Sounds like your converter is a little bit looser than mine. 2100 is max for me. Should be a lot better when the 55 goes in.
