There has been lots of discussion on converters.....which one for my combo? Is my converter slipping too much? Difference between LU and NLU....etc.......
I like many other members on here am starting to get lost and I am trying to clear this stuff up for my own education. I have talked to a handful of well known and respected members and I keep getting different answers on what to expect out of a given converter and combo.
So I am starting this thread in hopes that members will post real numbers to help educate me and any other person in the same boat trying to pic a converter or figure out if they currently have a converter issue. I am interested to here from the people running a 10" NLU because thats what I am using but I would like to also hear from a variety of others.
I am currently running a 10"3000 stall nlu.....the converter however only stalls 2600@0 psi and it has 14% slippage up top. I am currently working with Dusty to get this resolved. However the more I research and talk to different people I get different expectations. On one hand I am being told a 10" nlu will not stall high enough for my needs (3000rpm) and lock hard enough up top......on the other hand I am being told it can and there are converters out there doing it.
So I am hoping to get real numbers to see for myself instead of being told.
Please post your combo...just cam heads,turbo gear,converter and tire size also your e.t,mph,rpm and converter slippage.
If you dont know your slip% you can go to Wallaceracing.com they have some great calculators select converter slip it will ask your trap rpm,mph,tire diameter and give you a %
