FOr those that have been keeping up with the 10" coverter from sinister speed we got my brothers car out to run a local 10.5 race. We ended up going out first round but we got to make a few test passes afterward. We came home with two personal bests with the car a 1.35 60' and our best pass to date with a 5.59@126 in the 1/8.

A little run down on the car 2900lbs :D, an off the shelf non ball bearing 74mm gt 42, 45 psi and 100 shot. This was still on a very safe tune up, i have no doubt this car is going deep into the 5.40 range with some decent weather and leaning on the tune alittle harder.

Indeed that things moves well off the line silky smooth!
 
Tuneup looks real safe, didn't know a 4 cyl could belch that much smoke and not stall! Thanks for answering the questions on mine jessie, I ended up ordering one for when I sort out the auto and go to a bigger turbo setup.
 
Glad to see this converter laying down some good numbers, can't wait to get mine on the track.

How loose is this beasty? what RPM are you seeing across the line in the 1/4 ?
 
Have you noticed any change in rpm's on the top end? I think I was reading these are suppost to be tighter up top than a restall so I was just wondering.

We haven't ran it out the back door yet but i would guess its gonna be around 9200

We can only us rpm vs trap speed but based on that its very close to the same.
 
Without nitrous mine only flashes to 3500, where my t67 only spools to 4 psi and it stops there. I will mess with timing and other settings, but the converter alone is not enough without nitrous for a large turbo. But for a 16g it would spool instantly and great. It is much better than stock but still cant spool a large turbo without a burst of nitrous to get over the hump. Is this what you guys see too? ANd what kind of timing you run on spool up?
