Last time at the track with the stock converter I went 10.97. Put the Circle D converter in and went today. First pass had to pedal it and went 10.57. Lowered the launch rpm a little and went 9.85. Now that's bang for the buck. The stall and a 2nd gear launch allowed it to make boost off the line. Very happy with it, trying not to get back into chasing numbers. Im just going to enjoy for now. My time is on the right lane.

A torque converter swap is one of the best mods for sure
