new times with converter

[lxhatch302]

Well i know i dont post much but i thought i would mention something haha....edge converters do kick ass very much....i just got one of their street edge convertors...it flashes around 3300-3500 and foot brakes around 2500.....before the converter i went 14.16 @ 98 mph with a 2.2 sixty....the car went 13.78 @ 97 mph with a 1.86 sixty...now this is with m/t drag radials on some heavy ass cobra r"s...my car only has maf/tbody/gears/exhaust so you tell me if thats good...im still new to drag racing and need to get on some skinnes and slicks...

That's awesome. I have heard nothing but good thing about Edge converters. I might talk to them about doing a converter for me when I get my c4 since everyone likes them so much.

yah i had mine "customized" by andre at edge...he told me exactly what i needed for my set up and i believe you get one free stall and it cost 80-140 for more than one...but its practically getting a BRAND new converter over again is what he told me....it comes with a 1 year warrenty and so on...they are a great company took week and a half to get it...and i am totally happy with it...

great job, i love my edge converter also. are you spinning? might need some suspension work to take full advantage of the tq multplication.

[lxhatch302]

yah it spins enough to hurt the et and sixty...i dont have enough money now to get some slicks and skinnes so im trying to find someone to lend me some here in town...cant make a race car making 6.50 a hr haha...but that will change when the summer is here

[rsw007]

aod"s can ussually hook with drag radials. i just cut a 1.49 60ft on m/t drag radials.

[lxhatch302]

i couldnt get them to stick at ALL when i was spraying the car...i went 12.93 and i went 12.48 @ 112 w/o the converter a couple weeks back...so i need to get some slicks haha

hey rsw007, what converter are you using? How many rpm's does it stall at? I'm swapping in a TCI c4 with a trans-brake and i have no idea what converter to use. My set up is mostly stock with everything , and i mean everything gutted . I plan on doing h/c/i this summer and maybe a turbo or spray. Thanks in advance.

Nice to hear about Edge. I'm ordering mine very soon.

Thumbs up for Andre at Edge, my cousin and I are multiple repeat customers of his. The last converter in my Z was a Pro Race 3800 - worked perfectly. My cousin has had 2 different Edge converters in his 1996 Caprice - 11.8's cutting 1.59 60's last year.


Andre has superb customer service also.

Another happy edge customer here! When I first installed it I had completely worn out trac loc with 160k miles and one bald nitto spinning and knocked .3 tenth's off of My 60 and ran a 1.75 60 ft and knocked over 1/2 second off My 60. I have a detroit locker in there now with ET street's and have cut a best of 1.58.

man this thread is old,

BUT ANYWAY

my car has gone a best now of 10.79@124 1.46 sixty with the same converter but it was way to tight so i had it restalled and upgradded to the Pro Edge and had a "new" stator on it and hoepfully it will be a monster even more now with the converter and t-brake :D
