Strong, if that's a 10 x 30 Goodyear w/ 4.88 gear, that would mean the converter is slipping 5-6%. Who's converter is it? Is it a 8" Opel core converter? It's a good one just curious.

30x9 Hoosiers radial for the last 10+yrs or so..Sometimes I can't remember which converter is in which car....I have ATI...TCI...Trans specialties....I have had them all freshened over the years by BTE.....To freshen my memory,I'm probably going to have to look and see which one is in this car..

Alright, so because of this ticket on FB, I discovered I was entering a incorrect digit into the equation to figure converter slip.

So I gotta apologize to Novacaine for my error in info, I came up with 15% on this dragster time slip, and it's what told me something was wrong with my math.

This is 20% on a friends dragster.

Novacaine is slipping 11% now

1800gb is 12% now.
