Trying to understand the latest generation of converters.

Determining best gear to chose for top end.

The more gear that you have in the car the less the converter will slip. Talk to ATI about your combo and they will get you in the ballpark on the first try. Then you can make some changes as you move forward and test the car. Talk to Charlie at ATI. He is real familiar with the class racing stuff. You really can’t go wrong with them.
