Jason, I had him contact CK quite some time ago...he can't lock that convertor.

I'd yank the trans and have it converted to a NL...any trans shop can do it cheap. Got my NL kit from Chris at CK...it's inexpensive. I'd grab a good used AC 16930 convertor. They can be had cheap...with everyone going to PTC. I'd grab a pair of used 28x9 slicks and mount 'em on stock rims. I'd grab a 112 race chip from Eric...turn off the alky...and have at it. You'll get yer' 11 and then some.

28" tires will give him another 8-9 mph on top end...

He is also running on the low end of the boost range....car actually did pretty well considering the combo problems

Cracking the 10's for no money with a stock block.

Steve...here's the 5931 with a pair of good heads...PTC 9.5...tuned with NB and a 5.7 chip. Gives an idea what it's capable of.

Yeah, it is slip sliding away.

Did you see that link I posted above of Wally Judy  pulling s 9.35 on iron heads and a maxeffort? 2009

Impressive!

expecially on iron heads.  Even earlier than that, Roy Garcia was running mid nines but I am sure that was a Stage engine.  Nothing new to be in the nines on a chip

So because im good at hearing what I want  im hearing that im a set of 28 inch tires and s converter away from a low 11's car
Seriously though. I gotta do the tire thing. Scoob is sold on the ac converter, and his proof is in the pudding as they say, but how is that converter for street use and also how do I get a good one as they sre not made anymore and I wouldnt know a good from a bad one if it bit me. I thought this CK one I got was going to be the ticket  so is there a new one thats comprable to the ac one??

Go back to reply 16. Steve says you can pick up 8 mph going to a 28 inch tire. Grab an old pair of 28x9 slicks and throw them on a rim...preferab ly 8 inch wide and a 4 inch backspace...an d have at it. You'll have your 11 second time slip. Set the tire pressure to 12.2 to 12.4. Post your PL log from your 12.1 run if you can. Lets get a look at the fueling.

The link I put up with your turbo...the gent has a set of aluminum heads. Don't expect his results. The stock heads act like a cork. This boils down to how fast do you wanna go...your tuning ability...and how thick your wallet is.

Dan brought his S2 car out to my home track 2 years ago. 4 inch MAF...Translat or...Erics 5.7 112 race chip...12 pounds of boost. I put a fat tune on it so it wouldn't hurt itself. Ran a 6.90 on a 1.5x launch. Tell me again why I need XFI. Turbo is an old school Limit Engineering 76 JB. Heads are GN1 aluminum. Old school Precision FMIC. 3500 no name convertor.

Thank's Brad, every body in Toronto think's it's a 12 second car, Think again idiots,  and it's for sale.

I found a drag radial in a 17 inch size and 28 inch height.  M&H RaceMaster drag radials, some pretty good reviews. Also have another call into CK to ask about locking the converter again. Probably know the answer but want to ask him. I only make 10-20 passes a year, what is going to happen if I put a switch in and lock it up at 80 like Steve suggested. I'll report back his answer

If its a 9.5" single disk, don't waste your time locking it, you'll just fry it. I went with a 9.5" Husek LU cause I drive my car a lot on the street and really enjoy that aspect of it. I've never locked it at the the track.....no point. For what? A couple mph?
 If you want to get serious et wise then go NL............ but like the others have said, be prepared to pay some serious coin. I own A GS with a 258mm max perf Coan. That converter was a grand in 2007! But the fukr works, and you'd think you were driving with a stock converter on the street
