Is this the best I can expect on the stock converter? VID

1800 on footbrake and ~2500 on a transbrake is the best I can do on stock converter.

I feel your pain. Went and ran a local 1/8 last night. best 60' was 2.01. With the brake on My back tires where turning over at 1500rpm while I was trying to stage up. GRRR. but i did beat 5.0 with more mods than me:) reaction time is a Bit**.

I didn't think a trans brake was worth doing with a stock converter?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet...

it doesn't make a huge difference but does give about 700 more rpm before pushing through.

My car wouldn't pull better than a 1.98-2.0 60' before I put the 3c in. This is with the Procharger. I tried everything. The converter is just too tight and doesnt allow the supercharger to stay in its power band for long. I now pull easy 1.6 60's and the car has woken up majorly.

My best is 1.7 on the stock converter which isn't horrible for a twin turbo car that doesn't make power until 3800.

I tried to stall my car to 1500 RPM's and it wanted to push. Only mustered up a 2.409 60 ft.

What's the best way to launch with the stock converter and no trans brake or 2 step?

I would at least think a 1.8 is attainable?
