    Myself, SC (Baby Blue Turbo Chevy), Luke (black 04ext cab), Ricky (6.0 Nitrous Truck) All had new setups at the track. Most of them can chime in if they want, but mine was the laziest off the line. The suspension was perfect, I built 2-3lbs of boost on the line, but could NOT stall it past 2k. I wanted to save money, so I opted out of buying a higher stalled converter, and was not able to leave the line in a quick manner. 2.3 60fts FTL. I have a triple disk PI 2100 converter in it.

    I was just curious. I love the way your truck looks. The stance is perfect. Good luck sorting out the new combos. I delt with a tight converter on my turbo car before and it makes it very frustrating to try and get good times. I went with a neal chance converter in my car and it worked great. He got the stall right on the first try and it was still very driveable on the street.

    It's all good, this converter is pretty damn tight. But it drives AWESOME on the freeway. Low gears plus low stall is low RPMs cruising at 80. I'll be stepping up the converter this summer probably
