Sorry i missed that thread (i miss most of the threads). We have not done any gear changes - other than using a shorter tire. We have done the looser converter. And if the question of which of the 2 options gives better performance, then I would say that the seat of the pants improvement with the converter upgrade is very noticable.

Sorry i dont have any track data to show any improved track times. But i can tell you that going to a looser converter really makes the srt8 "feel" stronger and the power delivery much more raw.

What is the stall RPM difference and the million $ ? -- How much for you to modify the stock converter?
