Converter flash vs. Peak torque
Where is the target flash point on a super stock engine that produces peak torque at 6000 rpm ?? Do you want it to flash beyond the peak torque, dead on the peak torque or less than the peak torque ???

Hi Rusty, A good starting point would be approx. 2-300 over peak torque. But a lot depends on heads, cam, intake,etc. and where the engine is happy as each combo is different. Hope this helps.

Don, because true stall is a static measurement, but when you leave the line, that's not the case.
Lenny is correct as to what works. |

Re: Converter flash vs. Peak torque
HP (mathematically calculated number using torque over time) will accelerate the vehicle more quickly and smoothly than the peak torque, especially since you have all the torque multiplication you need up to the point of being "coupled", with a good race converter.
I look at launching at peak torque as being like hitting the car with a hammer to move it, then it recovers and accelerates again. Using the HP peak to accelerate the vehicle is a steady pull. |

Re: Converter flash vs. Peak torque
Rusty, we work exclusively with Ultimate Converters/Lenny. Ultimate converters is one of the key reasons we have been able to go fast quickly with our new combo (having Brian Tilburg also helps). Lenny is one sharp dude and great to work with. Comes to alot of the races in D-1 and is always tinkering. Lenny ran/worked on Super Stock Hemi cars for years. Call him and judge for yourself.
