Only problem we are having is we are just touching the rev limiter before it shifts even though the commanded shift point is way lower than the limiter. MPH has also been adjusted so it isn't that we think it may be shift speed or line pressure related so am trying a few things to sort it.
Tuned using Efilive not Hpt sry mate, my car is making good power high 400's but weight 3900 lbs. We ran 11.83 last out with a 1.64 60' but lost a few tenths due to hitting limiter twice during run.
Your Vettes are going to fly with a similar setup.
cheers

Is the torque converter predominantly for the strip or does it play a major role in the performance of the car on the street as well, when the car has been bumped to let say 420 RWHP or more?

Torque converters are a huge benefit in all conditions. They are downright vicious on launches the necessary upgrade in tires is required. From a roll, they really help in keeping up with manual tranny cars. With the SS4000 Yank Converter in my TA, I could easily hold my own against 6-speed Camaros with similiar mods.
thats what makes them good
