Dusty, I'm looking for a converter for my 78 malibu drag racer...I'm currently footbraking the car at 2500 rpm's, and the converter is flashing up to 4xxx. I'm going to go with a transbrake w/2 step. Vehicle weight is 3024#, and I weigh 225#. 1-2, 2-3 shift 6500 rpm's. Track is 1410' altitude. Currently footbraking with a GM40 4000 stall 10" converter. I will be running super-pro..
Here's a video. I'm coming out on the hole soft on that launch.
