yes, the convertor, and the delayed shift due to cavitation were holding me back some, i'm sure. fixed that with the pat's convertor and the pts pan kit. the car defintely pulls harder now, just haven't had a chance to get back to the track yet. plus my only run was a sh!!ty night at the track anyway. it was a bracket night and there were 3 spills on the track that night. we finally get in line for the trees and BAM! someone blows a rear. waited about another hour, then only had about a minute for the car to warm up. don't even know if i was in closed loop or not. it was dark and i couldn't see how much boost i left with because i don't have the light on the gauge hooked up yet. i couldn't hear crap because of all the open header cars! don't know if i spun or not, but i definitely feel a seat of the pants difference now. again, any reccomendations on a particular brand for fit/installation/quality? looking to spend betw. 700-1000 $. thanks.
