Thanks Jim! Is your car a street/strip car?

Yes it is more street/strip but I'm moving towards the Pro-Touring end of the spectrum with some pending upgrades. The only reason I stayed with the TH400 was that nobody at that time would guarantee an overdrive transmission at my power levels. Now it's commonplace. If I had it to do all over again, I'd go 4L80e with the GV overdrive and steeper rear gears but I love my Summit-sourced Hughes to much to change it out now.

I'm interested to see how your current converter performs in an autoX/pro-tour arena. How much stall does it have? Do you plan to change it? Originally Posted by camrat68
