The converter is from Chance. I told Marty about the hesitation to reach full stall and he suggested adjusting the timing. I never weighed it empty. What should I be looking for there? Thank you for the help.

I cant stress enough the importance of a good converter, I believe this is where your problem originates from, get with the right people on this, Ultimate, or ATI. In my opinion theres only one core to use when building an 8 inch converter, ATI went out and made a copy of it, that should tell you something. "The converter is from Chance. I told Marty about the hesitation to reach full stall and he suggested adjusting the timing." This sounds like something Jim Hughes would tell one of his customers. LOL
