I appreciate you listening to all my struggles and for your sound advice.
I have hang out time, Last time I had scrit to do.
You have and continue to help
Other members by example. They will be smart following along and learning anything they can. Way to many guys don’t understand the importance of having the right converter.
This is not fake news lol
I’m running a VEGA converter in my duster. Lol

For a pop up toaster lol
I ran one back in 1983 in a 78 L82 corvette. If I remember correctly, it stalled somewhere around 3200-3500 lol
I remember pulling one out of a junk yard and trying to flush it with a quart of dextron before installing it…. lol

A good old fashioned clutch would do the trick : D
I have a reman '68 hemi converter if you care to walk on the wild side.

Short clip showing where the Turbo Action converter is flashing. I had to edit out the rest of the shenanigans since I wasn't in Mexico at the time this video was made.... lol
Nice
Made it to Renegade Raceway (@MOPARMAGA and @Newbomb Turk ’s home track) for their seasons opener. 2 days of racing starting tomorrow morning.
Good luck!
Can’t wait to hear results! Good luck
Good luck to you!! (I like that white Dart by you too.) Go get'm!!
Yeah, I can't wait to check it out, I didn't know that was bills friend last year.
Well I sucked and @MOPARMAGA got to witness it but the car is coming around. Converter swap paid off and proved the original converter was holding me back. Now I know what to ask for when I get the PTC restalled.
The loaner Turbo Action is performing flawlessly, just not enough stall for my combo. The PTC was supposed to be a 5800 but flashed at 5000. The Turbo Action is flashing at 5200 and the car is leaving harder than it ever has but more importantly, it stays engaged and doesn’t feel like it’s slipping like the PTC did. 60’ went from 1.52’s to 1.45-47’s On top of that, the RPM drop on shift is 800 versus 1200 for the PTC. Thinking I need a tight 6000.
At any rate, new personal best, even with a 19mph headwind and 900 elevation versus close to sea level at home. You can see it in my 1/8 et. Dropped from 6.62 with a 1.52 60’ to 6.70 with a 1.45 60’

Nice job Bill, it's almost like I was there...
I will say the car is sneaky fast and very quiet.
I'm pretty impressed because there are a lot of cars out here that are louder and look the drag car only part and Bill will kick their *** lol... If he didn't have a bad headache and red light.
I hope my car will be as consistent as yours Bill.
