As fast as you are, I'd say we all need to have 700 rpm of slip!

It's usually described as a percentage Wade, the most efficient are usually between 4% and 6%.

It would be pretty hard to question your converter, the way your car works.

Oh, believe me, I'm not dissatisfied! Always looking to make some adjustments to reduce the et, even if its a small amount.

Alan, what is typical on a well worked BB Camaro?

I am not a PG guy, but buddies have told me just changing to an aftermarket front pump really made the converter FEEL better???
