my small block runs a magnafuel 500 w/ built in filter.

Yea... tried that. First they forgot to build the converter after giving them information and payment info. Then I gave them another chance after wasting a couple weeks of my time. At least the second time they called me the next day and said they couldn't get parts for the converter they wanted...

Lol yea. I don't even get mad anymore.

Yea. Already using the thicker hygard. Not sure the trans is actually having problems or if it's just the converter. But so far it's working with low boost. Unfortunately I have bigger fish to fry. I thought I heard and saw something weird with the car, so I packed it up. Started it up the...

Track Finally opened back up. 7,094ft DA - 7.14psi - 255/60/15 MT ET STreet R - added a 2step to build boost on the footbrake made about 2.5psi at launch. Car still leaning out on the top end - need to add more fuel. BUT - the converter seemed to be ok at the lower boost level. I might be able...

Nope. Got held up when they forgot to build my order... then called back and said they couldn't get the parts for a 904. Coincidentally, I found my trans was a bit low on fluid. Added about 1/2 a quart and it started to couple. Got it to trap 131.66 at only 7psi. But then we had some weather...

Yes. Aem tru boost. But the 7.4psi was controller off. Wastegate only. 10.3 was with a stiffer spring and 25% duty on the Mac valve. My goal was to get the lowest boost I could just to see if i could not drive through the converter. So I put the small spring in and turned the controller off.

On the bright side. I did go to another test n tune yesterday. Pulled 4° of timing across the board and put the lightest wastegate spring I could. This allowed the converter to actually couple (24% slip instead of 30+%). Even though the lack of timing killed my 1/8 mile numbers it actually...

Well, fti dropped the ball and never started the build after I called and gave them payment info. Only reason I found out is I called to check on it and make sure I could make a specific track day. So I gave them a second chance, they called this morning and said the parts to build a 904...

He said they're gonna go with their 9" (sst?) he specified they handle about 1000hp drag n drive cars pretty well. Should stall on motor probably around 3500ish. We both came up with the engine making about 750-820@9-10psi and this should give me some wiggle if I want to turn it up a little.

I called yank to see if I could get it restalled and gone through, had to leave a message. Never got a call back. In fact ONLY ONE company actually called me back to talk about the car and setup and they called me back within minutes. So I went with FTI this go around, comes with a free...

Cheaper maybe. Easier not so much anymore. They aren't local anymore so it's about as easy as everyone else. I'm going to get ahold of them maybe this time he won't act like it is a hindrance.

Yes combo changed (was for nitrous). I'll call him. I had it done in 2021, it was always a bit loose. Probably easier for him to restall it anyways. They were local. Hopefully they didn't move. They do good work, just wasn't impressed with the lack of caring. Lol Edit... they moved to Ohio...

I don't trust any of them. I guess that's the problem. I had yank build this one. But his son acted like he didn't give a **** when he was taking information, didn't even ask any good questions. I have sent In some requests to coan, ptc, circle d, edge.. so I guess I'll see if any of them call...

408 with a 7875 turbo. 3.55 gears 904 rmvb Current converter is a yank. But it just blows through it as can be heard in the videos.

RIP torque converter. Anyone have any good recommendations for a turbo car?

I don’t think so. As far as I know he didn’t dyno anything before or after. Only proof I’ve seen dyno wise has shown no difference or such a little difference it wouldn’t be noticed. But the argument could be made for it.

Dude slept at the light. With a better driver bottle rocket would have been clapped I think.

I will try. At least I get to go to another track, besides my local one, at a slighlty lower elevation too.

Yea kinda wish it was actually on the strip. That would be a lifetime experience.

Maybe. I'm sure it will be packed. I'm also pretty sure I won't hold a candle to some of the other small tire cars. Especially being untested. But it will be fun.

Well hot damn.. I was selected to participate in their drag race... I guess we'll see how bad I get spanked in small tire. Woo

No. I don't have anything capable. But I can say that my shift light (6500) was lit at the end of the track last night. New calculation was 22% slip. So converter and trans refresh are in the future now.

Mine is still pulling as well.. its not completely blowing through the converter, but 20% is a lot.

From what I've been reading over the interwebs, I see different amounts Full boar mama Jama race car - (-)0-3% Race car but not so mama jama - 0-5% Sometimes race car Sometimes not - 5-10% Usually when there is more than 10% all the race car people aren't happy. This is what I found in my...

I'm sure that's happening a bit too.

I can believe it. Trans might be due for a refresh this winter... the fluid was pretty cooked.

I think I have the b&m stuff in it. The fluid is blue.. smells God awful. But it's gotten pretty dark as well. I remember is smelled horrible brand new too.

I dont expect anything, my fluid is due for change.. smells a little cooked. So I figured might as well.. cheaper than buying atf at the auto parts store.

Yea.. John deer tractor hyd/trans fluid.
