So I did try the PTC 9". First pass it was soft and puked a little fluid out of the dipstick. So I jacked it up, took some out and re adjusted my fluid level and made another pass. Lost 2 tenths in the 60 and 4 tenths in ET so I took it home.
Sent it back to PTC and they called me up after they cut it open and asked me what I wanted to do. They did not asked me about stuff like tire size, gears ect and all they wanted to know was my ci. Tech guy said he would have sold me a 8".
The whole thing was confusing. He said my converter looked great, was tight and said the slip had to be in the 5% range. He simply wanted to know if I wanted it tighter or looser. I thought that is why I had it sent to the experts, to help me out on where I should go. Did not get any of that. So, I had a choice to make. Weld it back up and send it back, tighten it up or loosen it up a little.
Well, it used to work great and the peak torque point of the new engine had to go up a bit I told them to loosen it up a tad.
e will see where this goes. I will try it with the Red Line F and if its seems loose try the Tractor Supply fluid.
I figured if I can still 60 foot below 1.40 and get the total slip 10% or less that should work. We will see.
Called Pro Touque and they want to go with their Bullet 9.5" Maybe I will give that a try if this does not work out.
