Kidding about what ?
I personally know guys going low 9's with the same combo.. Either I have a funked up converter or my tranny has some very weid gearset in it.
I will figure it out like I always do so don't fret.

From my AOD days, I don't seem to recall aftermarket converters retailing too high. Seems like it may be a relatively cheap solution or starting point to figuring out the issue.

Any worthwhile converter you purchase is going to cost a few dollars as opposed to something "off-the-shelf".
With a converter, you usually get what you pay for.

yep, but it works really good..
Actually I need to send it back to loosen it up just a bit, but have to install either of the devices that Joe mentioned on the car first to determine how much adjustment is needed first...

The people that re-flashed my converter (Trans King) gets $799 for a new one and they are well respected. However Neal Chance has some very good turbo specific converters that I have done a lot of research on. However they are almost $1k so I will not bother putting it on this motor and have them build it for the next one since it will be so much different.
This would be a easy problem to solve if I was not getting ready to put in the other motor with a completely different powerband but I am hell bent on seeing how fast I can go with the stock short block.

well i dont understand how a 1/1 3rd gear holds your gearing back at all. i think your tire, rpm, and a bit of convertor slipage are the main issue. who cares what 1-2 gears are?
second NC Convertors has free restalls, so who cares. buy something that is worth the time and money. arent you learning yet how much trouble you are having half assing things yet?
good luck and you will figure out it, no matter how much money you throw at this thing.

Something worth while ? Trans King is a contingency sponsor and well know converter in the NHRA because you do not know the name does not me a thing.
Half assing things ? How / where ? D
No matter how much money I throw at it ? Again how where ? I have spent far less than you will ever know and $300 or so since it was completed in February which was on this converter re-do.
Go be a smart ass elsewhere, we are all full here.

A select few of you idiots err guys crack me up thinking I go to Sam for everything or anything for that matter. Ask him yourself if you would like. Think whatever you want because whatever I say is not getting through your thick skulls.
I do my own research, does it sometimes intail bouncing questions off of Sam, Cliff, or TJ at Coastal ? At times, but it never comes down to hey just take care of it, what do you think, throw cash, and leave. Again you have your thoughts most of the rest know the truth.
I suppose I could be like others and just post the good stuff but I like to bounce my minimal issues off of others to see if I can help my issue at hand and maybe help someone else along the way. Being honest is a lot for some to deal with, don't worry I understand I swear. Sorry I just did not go to the lot and pick out a car like yourself.
Your envy is starting to show through again. 116 m.p.h. race queen
that is great. But still fast enough to let off at half track and beat you. :o
