Did some stall speed analysis and decided to go with a higher stall speed and take a chance on how that would affect the car on the street. This year I'm concentrating on track performance and street performance is a distance second priority. I ran several iterations of stall speed and 1/4-mile ET performance on my modeling software and decided to increase the stall speed closer to 6000 RPM.
Here's the new 6000 RPM torque converter going in the car. Car launches even harder now and runs like a scalded dog. Surprisingly the new converter doesn't act much different on the street but there's a big difference off the trans brake. The trans temp does run about 15-degrees hotter now but still acceptable. Probably won't make a difference at the track as trans only sees 9-seconds of load. But that higher stall speed really wakes up the car. My butt dyno says this race season is going to be fun.
Check out the new stubby front fenders. That's a Harley rear fender cut in half and they weigh about 25% of what the FFR fenders weigh. I'd rather run without fenders but NHRA would consider the car an altered and that has different roll cage rules that would be difficult to live with in a street car.
