Looking at adding a Circle D converter to my car. Most of my driving is mainly on the street with a few trips to the strip once in a while. My 60 foot times are in the 2.0 second range. They were 2.1 before the supercharger, so not much gain when taking off. Would the 3C be a good choice?
Converters

I think most with centris are going 2b.
Doubtful on a stock stalled auto with a centri blower. But yes u will need drag radials to go with the converter.
I have drag radials. M/T Street Radial IIs are on it now.
I saw street radial in your sig, didn't know they were dr's. I didn't know the Vortechs were that bad on a stock auto. Every Vortech I had on my fox did have a converter so traction was always an issue
In that case, I would ask Circle D what they would recommend

How do u figure that? Show me an example of someone with a stock converter running those 60 with a centri on relatively low boost.
My local tuner was able to 60 ft 1.65-1.75with is paxton and stock converter on low boost. .. (stock pulley size)...mine is n/a and my 60 ft was 1.84-190 on stock t.c..... (best was 1.79 on a very cold day) so i think someting is wrong with is tune unless he is running at 5000ft elevation...

My Vortech is a stock setup. Just trying to get more ummph at start up.
That is def not the norm at regular elevations(0-1000 DA). My Paxton car with stock pulley did a 1.95 60' dead hooking in 2000 DA. My buddies car with a roush blower( more tq and power down low) did 60' like you are describing(1.65-1.75) but the tq/hp isn't there down low on a centri. Maybe I'm wrong and there are others getting low 60' on a centri and stock tc... I'd love to see them post.
