8 inch converter questions...

Thanks for the kind words mshred. Your car looks to be a real nice ride also.
Well I just spent the last two nights installing my new 8 inch A1 convertor in the Dart, just took it for a ride around the block and it seems way to tight. Guess I should have not told them it was going in a street car.
I am going to drive the car to work tomorrow maybe it will loosen up some. LOL.
This weekend NHRA is in town so I will not be able to test it for a week or two.

Thanks for the kind words as well! I like to think she isn't the ugliest duckling lol

Hopefully A1 gets it right, or it acts different at the track. I had a problem with my converter being made correctly to fit right off the bat, the stall was too tight...I got it re-stalled (although I really don't feel like they listened to me and the data I had) and it was still too tight for my car (it only loosened up by maybe 200 rpm). After all the money I spent on it, and the back and forth shipping, I would go elsewhere next time personally.

I hope you have better luck than me. Even though my car is street/strip, whenever I get parts for it like converter, cam, etc. I always tell them make it like its a race car, and I'll deal with the street manners lol
