Don't know about the converter, guessing as the trans is the 800hp rwhp/1000fwhp model i guess it handles at least 1000hp. I just sent a dyno chart to KEAS and they did the rest. thanks to kyle/6boost for hooking me up again aswell cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Speed o wise there is none, it does 2200rpm at 60km, that's all i need to know, holding the pedal flat for more than 1-2 seconds from 60km results in license loss anyway . But i think that you can use a autometer drive which has a electronic speed drive on it. Trans/converter is crazy, locks up at 3500rpm, but on the footbrake it has no trouble building a heap of boost in 2-3 seconds max, 3 seconds provokes a massive burnout.On the street you hold it at 3500rpm release the footbrake it rolls out 2-3 metres and boost hits, bang 2nd and keeps pulling, any more revs than 3500rpm and it digs a massive trench Ben viscontes white vl styles.Get it right though and it launched the same as my mates wrx. If the car run's 10's,it feels like it would do it on the footbrake aswell The glide is the best thing i have done, awesome, made the car so much more driveable and the powerband feels more elastic, no holes in it anywhere, just pulls like crazy everywhere cheers darren Hey Darren, Nice work mate......it's sure come along way since i 1st seen it as a stocky! Looks Tuff.....show n go to match also. It'll run 10's EASY on the foot brake Dazz......mine ran 10.5 on a footbrake with a converter only stalling to 3000rpm instead of the 3500 it should've! And i had 330rwkw!! NOT 370rwkw....and more to come no doubt! So you're way in front!!! Good luck mate......you're pushing for 9's with everything setup right.
