Default Re: Science behind building a converter

Wasn't looking for a 2 hour seminar or give anybody carpal tunnel from typing. Just basics I know there is a big difference between stock/SS, comp style stuff then the super classes and top sportsmen stuff but there seems to be some interesting stuff going on with the top sportsmen like lock up converters. Back to the subject so there is colored charts and graphs they work off as a base line then experience from there takes over. In a performance class like us getting the car to 60ft is key, specially with the weight of some of these cars. So with the dyno sheet ( and all other info like weight and gear ratio of rear end and tranny's first gear, cam, head, intake) in hands of the converter company where are they shooting too for the flash of the converter to happen at peak torque or some percentage above or below it?
