Before i put the slowpercharger on, i had blown up my tranny running nitrous, and when i put the new aode in, i put in my edge racing converter which WAS a 3000 rpm stall. The converter felt great. Then i put on the intake and supercharger and all that junk and the thing is stalling out at like 4 grand now. this is a d/d, and since i put the vortech on my powerband is inbetween 4000 to 5000 rpm. It sucks. I talked to the guys at edge racing, and they said that i could send the converter back in and they could re-configure it to stall out at about 2800 for me (what i want), but it would take about a week and a half and cost 150 plus shipping both ways. I was thinking about just throwing my stock converter back in, would that be a problem you think? Just a little fyi, with 10 psi i have maybe gained 3 tenths in the 1/4, that tranny just completly eats the power. anyy suggestions?

Dude, no way with 10 pounds you ganied .3. Are you sure everythings working correctly? 10 punds should be at least 120-40hp...

3 tenths at the track??? Unless you are just roasting them through the 1/8th mile, a 2,800 stall isn't going to fix your supercharger problems.

What is your trap speed difference?

im exagerating, what i mean is that since i put the vortech on it doesnt feel that much faster. I havent had it to the track yet to verify how much faster it is, but it really doesnt feel right. When i got it tuned, they said they couldnt get a good reading because the converter/tranny were acting up or something(i dont know) but i can feel it when i go full throttle its like it just doesnt pull hard at all.

If your powerband is 4-5 grand and the converter is stalling up to 4 grand... you should be ripping the streets up. I honestly don't see how a converter reconfigured for 2,800 is going to help your top end you need fixed.

I guess you are hinting you are making a ton more power and the converter is losing it all??

I would lean toward the tranny clutches slipping more.

How long ago was your rebuild? Or did you just put a shift kit in a stock tranny?

The reason I ask is it's possible your stall isn't flashing to 4,000 or so, but the tranny gears are just slipping that bad and your rpm is spiking.
