Best converter for reaction times on Footbrake??
 

Anyone experienced any better reaction with a certain brand of converter? So far I've tried a TCI and an ATI, the TCI reacts a little slower but flashes higher and produces lower ET's. The ATI definitely was a little quicker on reacting and only 2-3 hundredths slower on ET.

Get in touch with Mark Yacavone here on the site, he is the converter guy.

I just put one of Mark's converters in a stocker. Customer service is great. He will work with you on what you need. Very happy with the converter.

My resent experience footbraking is similar to yours. What I changed was the stator in the converter. It hit harder and quicker that the other set up with the same stall. I use a FTI converter. They are VERY popular here in the southeast and that group races allot with allot of different cars. I am sure that there can be a simple change in your converter to get it to react quicker. It took me from deep staging to regular staging. Hope this helps.

Go to Mark, he's the guy. He's been more than helpful as I put my combo together.

1. reaction times are just as much if not more about the car and the driver.

2. I stated for years on numerous forums, I challenge any and all converter manufacturers to build me a converter that is a tenth quicker and 1 MPH faster than my 8" ATI Treemaster converter.

Only one has accepted and failed miserably!

BTW, I've been 1.17 off the footbrake weighing 3144 lbs. and 1.28 weighing 3880 lbs.
