Finally installed new Edge converter!
 

I finally installed my 3700 stall Edge converter! First thing I immediatly noticed was it no longer had that drastic drop in rpms when going from park into gear and sound like it wanted to stall.
I can hear a slight engine rev when pulling from a stop and from going from cruising speed to full throttle.
Throttle response is still nice and crisp though.
It used to spin the tires hard in the 1-2 shift but now it's only a tiny chip, if that anymore. This is a C-4 that does not even have a shift kit yet!
The engine seems to rev quicker and pull harder. I'm hoping to get to the track at the end of the month for a T&T run.
I'll get to see just how much that 2400 stall converter was holding me back. I would like to see a .2 drop in my 60' and another .4 or .5 drop in E.T
I'll post my track results when I get to the track. My best run last year was 13.3@104mph. Since then, I have upgraded my fuel system with -8AN line and Holley blue pump with a sumped pump, ditched the 3310 and bought a 750 DP and swapped in my edge converter.
I don't know if the fuel system and carb. swap will increase HP or not. What do you guys think?

What area of the country do you live in? Looks like we could have a fairly even race. I'm now trying desparately to get into the 12's but will probably need colder and dry air to do it, even at the sea level track that I race on (HRP)..

I live in Pa. and our track elevation, that I race on is about 900'. I'm confident that the old converter was too small and holding me back. This converter swap along should get me into the 12's. I still have a brand new NOS kit yet to be installed and I'm hoping for 11's with that.

Good luck with the new combo.

A good 60ft works miracles on your ET.

What was holding you up putting that thing back together. Never did hear what you found out. Converter bolts or what bro?


Glad to hear she's up and running. Let the games begin! :D

It was just a matter of getting it aligned up correct plus the fact I was doing this myself, on the ground, with just jackstands.
I finally got smart and made my own guides out of 7/16 allthread.
I cut two 4 inch pieces and threaded them into the bellhousing; one on each side and then slid the tranny on them, put a few bolts in and then removed them and put those bolts in.
I was "supposed" to have my buddy help me but he left me "high and dry" twice when he said he would be over to help and never showed!! :mad:
All I have to do now is to install my BIGGER tranny cooler and head to the track!!!

You BETTER let us know how that machine does!!!

>THINK TWELVE!!!!< Or better! ;)

Glad it all worked out for ya bro!

3700? Hell that's barely good enough to get around in the pits :^) My 7" stalls at about 6400. I'll probably be coming off the brake at about 8200 this year!

Also, don't forget I STILL have a 150 shot of the juice to feed her!!
Can you say 11's??
