Converter

Hey. I had my transmission built with DTT parts back in 2011. I don't know much about the converter, but I believe if I remember correctly they claimed 150rpm lower than stock.
I haven't had any issues to date with their unit, but wonder if there is a better setup to run for occasional daily driving and summer weekend drag racing.
Side note, my buddy has a goerend in his 24v and his converter must be much lower stall because it feels so responsive compared to mine. That's when I first realized I might not like the way my converter is setup, but I'm also trying to accomplish a 12.1-11.99 quarter mile with a sovp so looking for the best setup.
Thanks and sorry for the long read!

The converter stall you need depends on your turbo setup. Your friend's converter may be more efficient and have better street manners with a stock turbo but if its too efficient, it can make spooling difficult at the drag strip. Looking at your sig, I don't see a 150 less then stock converter hurting your track times, your MPH is there for a 12.2-12.3 if you get your 60' in the low 1.6 range. Do you have a BD-RAD to get rid of all your Torque Management.

Thanks for the reply Lavon. I do have a bd-rad box. I ran a 12.58 @107 with a 1.77 60', then swapped in a fresh sovp (other had 100,000 on it), and went 12.53 @109 with a 1.87 60'. Don't really understand why 60' dropped a .10, possibly just weather that day maybe I don't know.
Currently running a 57/65/14 over 75/96/1.32. Thinking about going to a 62/??/?? Over the 75. Just swapped in Weston's 6x.013's, gonna race with them his weekend. On the street, my boost dropped 5psi from 70psi to 65psi with the 6x.013s and not really sure why and if I'm gonna be slowing down now with them or not.
At the strip I have been starting to boost as I move up to pre stage, and even then when it's 100 degrees out it has a little bit of a hard time spooling, especially if I go to hard on throttle to quick.
