  • Edge Racing Torque Converter is in!

    Finally! It took the shop all day. The specs sent to me were 2870 true stall, 2.33 STR, 97 EFF. Well let me say that it is very streetable. Don't think I'll have a traction problem, even in wet weather. Despite the specs, I was able to flash it between 3100-3200 rpm. I have to get used to the new shifts though. Reminds me of a mini-bike or go kart, doesn't drop down much between shifts. Don't really like the shifting, but I'll get used to it. Car really moves though, and boy will it smoke the tires. Will post new times in a week or two.

              i've got the street edge...has the carbon fiber. it's good converter. my numbers don't impress everyone, but i've pulled 1.9 60fts, and i improved my quarter mile times by nearly a whole second (.8).

              it's really fun on the street too. it's streetable, but i have to be pretty easy on the accelerator or else i'll spin. of course, it's always a suprise to start spinning at 10mph or so in a v6 camaro :cool:

              aminor--i'm glad you like the converter. you should go to temple tonight and show us what you can do with it [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      I bought the street edge with lockup. Cost me 425. Like Only4U says, the carbon fiber internal stuff is free with the street edge.

                      YoungDeezy, I got my best RTs on 1/3/03. They were between .6831 and .7803, with most being around the .72 range. That was only my 3rd time at the track, and I had 3.42s, alu driveshaft, lsd, and LCAs as far as drivetrain. Next trip the additions will be the converter and KYBs set firm in the back, and soft in the front.

                      Only4U. Sorry, that I can't make it tonight, gotta do the wife thing, but I'll let you know before I go next.

                            I'm dumbfounded when it comes to converters. What's the lockup and non-lockup converters?

                              You have to have a lockup for a daily driver
