What et and MPH will it run? What are you seeing for convertor slippage?

3.42:1, 6000 RPM, 29" tire, no / zero convertor slippage - 3rd gear 151.4 MPH - 4th gear 201.8 MPH

3.73:1, 6000 RPM, 29" tire, no / zero convertor slippage - 3rd gear 138.8 MPH - 4th gear 185 MPH

Thanks Stan. I guess the 3:42 would be the one to go with as I think the car will run 9:30 to 9:60 on 15 lbs of boost and E85 just a lot of work to go from 3:08 to 3:42 such a little change hope it pulls better down low ….
