Bradco Torque Converter Dyno Tests

[vassil]

Hi Guys,

I just finished converting my car to an auto. The setup is the same as last year, except the car has an auto transmission with a Bradco converter and a kiggly flex plate. I also did change my twin walbro 255s to Aeromotive 340s. Besides those everything is the same including boost and fuel. Took the car to the dyno to see what kind of power loss I am going to get and was pleased with the results.

Manual - 859.8 WHP
Auto - 728 WHP
Loss - 15.33 %

The car has a 2.45 Long rod (Pauter/Ross), Eagle crank, Kelford 276/280, Mangus Cast intake, FIC2150s, Twin Aeromotive 340lph pumps, Dynatec ARC, Garret 4" FMIC, PTE 6266 DBD (T3), Punishment Header and 3.5 downpipe.

The shifting is done with forcedfour.com shiftbox plus.

Here are the dyno sheets:

Good results, thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to see some track results, and finding out what you are able to stall the converter to,

I wonder how many different versions Bradco has done on the 1g converter so far ?
Great info Vassil..Can't wait for a time slip and brake-boost details...
