what would yield a better time? i just got my 3k converter and i plan on taking it to the track friday...i should i just flash it or stall it up?

 

I brake torque mine to 1200 rpm with the et streets any higher and it seems to bog .but with dragradials I seem to get better 60 fts(best 1.66)with bringing it upto about 1800 on the brake.I guess every setup is different

goodluck
Dave

EXPERIMENT!! No ones combination is the same!
What works for me may not work for you. Let your ET slips give you the info to decide what your car likes!!

RedBird is right every car is different. I launch my 69 at 4500 off foot brake for best 60ft times of 1.52 7.0s in the 1/8th. One buddy leaves at 1300 in his 68 camaro and has consistent 1.62s, at 7.4s in the 1/8th. another in his 68 Bird leaves off tansbrake at 4200 and is in the 1.38-1.40 range, at 6.3 in the 1/8th. so as you can see not every car is not the same. just go out try different ways and rember have FUN!!!!

Couple of more considerations:

1) A lot of converter makers say flashing the converter will net higher stall speeds.

2) Bringing the converter up against the brakes at higher RPMs :
a] Builds A lot of heat.
b] Builds heat very quickly!

Personnely, I leave at maybe 1200-1300 RPM, just enough to load the drivetrain.
