    I know this sounds strange... But if you were to change to 3.55 gears, it might turn LESS rpms thru the traps..

    My buds YSI turns around 7200 rpm at 155 mph with 3.73 gears and 28 inch tall tires.. He moved up from 3.55's and his converter slippage figure went down..

    That's absolutely correct. A higher gear will put less load on the converter and result in less slip. The radials don't like that 3.55 though on launch, so it's a trade-off. Hopefully the new converter will be looser down low and tighter up top to give the best performance.

    Talk to Lenny... He is the man.

    Oh big piece of advice. If you allergic to cats, at all, dont pet his. I should have ended up in the ER but I chose to drive back to Long Island f'd up on Benadryl and Zyrtec instead.
