<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">don't the parkers run the spc3 mellins ram air 3 cam? or is that what the used to run. it's been over a year since i have talked with them. but going on their advice and a little of my own using the R/A 3 cam, i got my car to run it's first pass of 7.82 in the 1/8 no nitrous with my 1983 trans am. but i'm having converter problems. i'm only MPH'ing 82-84 mph. the converter acts like it's not locking up in 3rd gear. i'm going thru the traps in 3rd at 5000 with 3.23 gears. if that was right it would be like 120+ mph so i know somethings wrong. the cars only been running for 2 weeks i'm sure i'll work the bugs out. but any help would be great.
