good job! what was your 60' time? A 3400-3600 stall converter could very well = 11's!

oh yeah, a converter in the 3400-3600 range should get you into the 1.6 60' range. In theory that's 11.9

back in november 2010, when I was intake/full exhaust/tune on DR's and skinnies, i went 11.91@116 on a 1.80(to the best of my memory) 60' with 2.73 gears. Installed a 3400 converter & shiftkit and went 11.41@118 on a 1.60 60'I think I would've seen 11.3's but I got the boot before it happened that night lol. A solid .5 sec reduction in ET and +2mph in the same conditions :D Anyone who mightve driven my car on the street never knew I had a tq converter in it until i told them

I still drive my vette back and forth to illinois once a year with a cam, supercharger, and 3000 stall and still get 25 mpg ;)

No worries! you'll barely notice the converter when you leave from a stop sign/lights. Once youre up to highway speeds, the converter locks and its just like you had a stock converter in there :)
