OK, I wanted to ask this before but waited till all the stuff was mentioned above.
After launch, how much effect, if any at all, does the torque converter have on the RPM drop from first to second and second to third? I was under the impression that those variables could be adjusted somewhat by a custom torque converter shop. I have heard a few cars at the strip that seemed as though the converter was slipping a little at the gear changes keeping the RPM up in the torque band. Is that the torque converter or something else I am missing?
