Which is why if you race an automatic and don't have a converter or plan on getting one down the road, you are totaly discredited in my book. That is the only reason that an automatic is used in drag racing other than consistancy.
If you are planning on adding nitrous, you can get an anti balooning plate that stops the converter from expanding (I believe) Well I have driven a manual car, and I must say that it is very fun, but nothing compaires to a high stall auto at WOT.....it feels like a constant time warp or something along those lines. You don't feel it shift gears at all.....you press the gas and it presses back with an unrelenting blow of power!
I will post some new times soon, but it should be good for at least low ass 12s if not high 11s......pretty impressive seeing that I only have exhaust and other bolt on goodies.......
BTW this is how we dynoed a truck at 365rwhp and it ran mid 10s all day.....converter baby! He had like a 5,500 stall or something close to that. :yup:
You have an auto?
