comp cams solid roller cam
duration at 50

lift 650 675
victor jr intake
holley 850 dp
1.75" headers 3" exhaust
350 turbo trans
4.33 gear
26X10 tire
car had a trans specialites 10" 3500 stall and run a 7.16et at 96mph in the 1/8 mile with a 1.56 60' time.
Between shifts the motor would loose about 900 rpm.
I have tried another converter. It is an Art Carr 9.5" 4500 stall. If I drive in third gear at a slow speed and floor it--the rpm's jump to around 5000.
I need to get a 7.00et in the 1/8 mile.
I shift the car at 6800 rpm.
Is this a good choice for converter (i.e. stall)?
Tighten it or loosen it?
Also problem 2- with the Art Carr- around 6500rpm it makes a loud whistle. We can hear it over the mufflers. What could this be?
