Post your 10 second combo

3450 with me in it. 10.92. Wrong gears, wrong convertor. I know there is more in my car, how much more...idk. Based on what hot metal wrote, My car should go 10.40 or so. that may be possible with the CORRECT convertor, which is a 5,000 stall speed which I won't run on the street.

You can math and theory the question all day but at the end of the day the timeslip won't lie. The computer doesn't take into account for any real world complications like headwind, mechanical resistance, stall speed, driver error, temperature, humidity, rear axle ratios, transmission type or ratio, etc.

Why not run a 5k converter on the street? I have been doing it for many years, and it is not a big deal at all. I have a PTC 8" converter that stalls a little over 5k (about 5200), and I drive the car all over town. I even drive it to the track some days...click off low 10 second passes and drive home. A quality converter will behave itself just fine on the street.

And yes, your car will pick up a big chunk with a good converter, probably put it in the mid 10's easy....heck, just getting it to a decent 60' would put you at 10.5 in the 1/4.
