I have yet to drive the car on the street since we had a little set back but we did notice a difference between last year converter and DD Converter.

Last year PI converter was a stall somewhere in the 3600-3800rpm range. When cruising around 2800rpm and you smash the throttle it would flash to 3900-4000rpm and pull to the shift point at 6000rpms.

On the dyno we were cruising at about 3000rpms and we smashed the throttle and it flashed to 4500rpm and pulled to the shift point. That is roughly 500-600rpm more flash I'm seeing over last year PI converter.

Also at the track I would bring the rpm up to 2000rpm and hammer the throttle and see 3400rpm flash stall. I have yet to check the new converter but will report my finding hopefully by next weekend.

We also check the TQ numbers without locking the converter with the new DD converter. It made 377tq by doing this but once it was locked up I only get 295tq. So it looks like it should leave better from the starting line then last year.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a TQ Converter give Alan (DirtyDog) a call.

Flash stall is when the car is at idle and you stab the throttle the converter will jump to a certain rpm and then start pulling.

So you want your converter to flash to an optimum stall (your power band) right. So if your power band starts at 3k rpm then you want a stall that flashes to that.

Am I right?

yes and no. All depends if you have a transbrake or not. You roughly want to be around your peak TQ rpm.
