    Weird Converter.....NEED HELP!

    wats up guys....one of my buddies has a single cab 07classic 5.3 chevy. Fully bolt on minus pulley his best time was a 14.0 with a 2.1 60ft...he recently installed a 3200 converter that brake stalls at 3600 at the track. Converter feels great, a little on the tight side but feels good since I've personally driven it. Yet, his best time has been a 14.0 with a 1.95 60ft with the converter. What could be wrong??

    If I recall correctly, both with and without converter were 97mph...same with me, wen I was fully bolt on I hit a 13.8 at 98mph 50degree weather, with 3400 converter I hit consistent 13.5s at 98mph in hot weather.

    well there you go a stall hurts a stock cam, you have a cam to help out that top end the stall kills out, that's why i lost my top end, i launched better but just lost a little, kind of wierd that he kept the same mph though, he needs a cam to go with that stall to help drop his times a little more

    see that's what I thought as well, but another buddy of mine with same set up went from a 14.1 to a 13.6 and hitting high 1.7 60fts with stock cam...but I guess all trucks respond differently to mods...he already has the cam and springs at his house and is gonna install it this weekend.

    well i would say his truck is just gay, lol....did they run the same converter and same size stall...there are way to many things to factor in on that...just tell him to get the cam in and see what it does

    Sounds like to me the trans is slipping under high load. Or the converter is slipping. My guess is the trans is slipping.

    tranny feels awesome, doesnt feel like any slipping is happening...I guess he'll just have to wait till he puts on the cam and see how she does at the track.
