Congrats to TRW and CamaroJT. Super impressive.
Me and Terry are getting to the same spot but in different ways. His converter is a smaller stall and unlocked, yet it is more efficient and has less slip than mine by far, which is 1 reason he pulls great mph, the other reason is ITS TUNED GOOD.
My converter does the opposite of his, mine hits harder off the line and then my slippage allows him back in, until I lock mine, then it's pulling hard!

There is no smoke and mirrors, just gotta have everything right. And then yes, you do have to be capable of DRIVING your car to a PB. Like SuperchargedSS said, a monkey can drive his car, but I bet that monkey can't lay down a record pass until he learns how to be perfect at his launch.
