[QUOTE="MTPyle, post: 1982020, member: 52157"] Update, Sent our Torque converter in to get freshened up. They called and said it was a mess. It only had about 800 race miles on it since it was last freshened up. Crazy thing is we were seeing some anomalies in the data that we could not figure out. Turns out it was the converter slipping. It was lagging on launch and hanging at 5000 rpm for a bit. Nothing we could feel but with data it was clear. It would get to 43mph, hang, drop to 41, then 40 and then get up above 43mph. That was not the same issue we were fighting on our engine tune that we solved. That was a entirely different issue. So our truck was still pretty fast even with a slipping converter. Cant wait for the Mint with a fresh truck. This is the first actual prep we have ever done on our truck in 3 years. Every other race prep we have been changing or trying to fix issues. Now We get to see how the other guys do it. LOL Mike [/QUOTE]
