John is laying it down t the track tonight and this converter is doing work! So far it's picked up 3 mph, over 2 tenths off the 60 and about 5 tenths off his et! I'm sure he will chime in. Props to Chris at circle d for a badass converter.

Btw these gains are over the pro torque he already had!

Btw...I made two passes...first one blew the tires off...second one was that one...trak was busy, I was happy...so I watched some fast super pro efi cars and ate a cheeseburger! pro torque never cut better than a 1.80.

Double bottom feed is asking for air pockets at top of trans cooler. This reduces efficiency, and can cause issues at WOT if you shift and a bubble is sucked through the lines. Just saying. I'd either rotate the cooler 90 or 180 degrees, the lines shouldnt both be fed to it from the bottom.

Welcome to the land of needing a roll bar.

That's one hell of an improvement.
