How about this, read the original post. The OP was told anything more 10% slip is no good.

Then someone else suggested 10% must be 1/4 mile converter slip percentage because with 10% slip 1/8 mile, a car would be a dog. I laughed at that one for a bit before finally saying something. Then you come in here and claim it can't be done, ... Are you F'n serious? LoL!

Tighten up and I might tell you how simple it is to do.... I don't care how many converters you've tried, that only tells me you don't have a clue and nobody has bothered to tell you, probably because they figured you wouldn't listen anyway.

When it comes to converters, there are more lost souls here than at a democrat convention. Mike , I've had the same arguments with guys running 800hp. et's using documented 1000+hp. engines to do it.
These guys wouldn't qualify in the 50th spot with 25 entries in comp eliminator.

Ain't that the Truth! " when it comes to converters there's more lost souls than at a democratic convention". That's funny! True too!

I might use that if you don't mind?!

I've come to expect it in forums, everything is determined by the consensus of the mostly clueless.

I'm really speaking to passerby's such as yourself, who get it.

I know I'm speaking a foreign language, but every now and then, I'd imagine, I'm able to help someone have a smooth drag racing experience.

Hey, feel free to use that line all you want.....it has many applicable uses these days.

I just can't understand why so many anymore can't understand something so relatively simple.....with ample evidence available at most any class race proving the point.

For bracket racing you want high slip ratio in the 1/8th, period. It isn't a pro mod, or 275 radial car that won't repeat from one run to the next. All out performance isn't what wins bracket races.

10% in the quarter is decent, but I would think that most are at, or above that level a few percent.

I asked Jason Lynch, who has won quite a few races, this same question and he told me a few percent doesn't change the MPH much, but can make the car less consistent.

I've won a few Super Pro bracket races myself. More than anyone in the history of Sunshine Dragstrip Clearwater Fl. by a bunch.

Not that night you hit the cone!!!!!!!!!!

And 5-6 years ago I did the opposite, took my converter from 6500-6600 to 6000. The car (big tire 104" rollout door car w/ 1050 hp and 4.10) The car slowed down 2 tenths right now, and each time I added stall back the et proportionally started to come back to where it was prior to tightening it up. Back to the same stall as previous the et came right back to where it was. I was going to try looser but a broken rod bolt ended that quickly. I think I cut that unit 6 or 7 times, thanks to FTI 15 bucks to ship it and a leave on Monday back on Wednesday turnaround.
90% of bracket racers buy a "speced" converter and stick it in the car and run it forever. Most will never try to make changes to see what the car actually likes, and I would bet there is an easy tenth in restalling a couple of times, and others will buy the latest and greatest and sell off the speced unit. I ended up with a 93B as I want the capability to use 200 spit of nitrous with out flipping units, and it is right at 6400 with 4.5 stroke, 1080-1100.
