ok before anyone jumps on this. yes simple answer is more power. here's where I am at  BA turbo  BTR trans   300 rwkw. has run a best of 12.8 qtr mile. 

 

thinking I am max KW on the old BTR so not looking to up the power. looking at other options to go a little quicker and with a best 60 foot of 2.2 thinking of going with a high stall. with stock converter wont stall past at best 2000rpm and is leaving on zero boost. would love to hear from others that have fitted a high stall in this situation and the results. only other thing will a 2500 stall be enough or should I opt for a 3000 ?  want to try to push for a 12.5 qtr so a few tenth's off the 60 foot and it will run a 12.5.

Haha a 200 shot at 2000rpm would be inviting uncle rodney for a visit but a 50 wet shot should wake it up a bit without hurting it.

 

But back to the converter thing, a stock turbo will make plenty of boost at 2500rpm. If you got it to stall at 3000rpm it'll be wanting to leave with nearly all the power which might be too much for the rear tyres.

yeah not going there with the 200 shot those weak rods are probably only just holding on as it is. and yeah good point at 3000rpm I wont get any traction so 2500 it is. will be interesting to see what difference it makes in the 60 foot.
