I guess the gearing affects how the TC sees the weight of the car, so you are right!
Though with his combo, he should have seen similar results to mine since the cars should be in a similar class (I had 3.73's with that converter before my gearswap).
So what is the consensus about the "standardized" TC's like the B&M's and tci's. I love my tci and they told me between 2800 and 3200 stall for my application.
I vote that the car in question is having massive converter slippage. Do converters ever have bad/weak.....clutches(?) in them?
