convertor flash

Mike Savelle · 09-26-2011, 08:32 PM

I checked my convertor on the return road in hi gear and it went to 5300 How do you know what your combo should have ? I shift at 6700 and go thru top end at 7200, I don't 60' as well as i should . . Any help appreciated . Mike

Mike, You want to it flash to peak torque or just a little higher.

Seeing you're multiplying torque at roughly 2 to 1 , you want to launch with all you got!

Now, in the absence of a dyno sheet, I suppose you could talk to guys with similar combos, or plug your specs into one of those computer calculator programs and hope for the best.

You can PM me for more info if you'd like .

Just a guess but I would say about 5800.
