I have two different scenarios that i need to choose from.

1- I could get a 3000 stall at 500 dollars (maybe a DS)

or

2- Upgrade to Stage 3 kit that would be put me around 455hp I think this upgrade is around 1400

So if u guys that track your cars which would u do over the other. Im kind of leaning towards the torque converter. As I think I could cut .2 to .5 off my times. Im unaware of what the stage 3 upgrade could do to my times.

I posted this in the track section but wasnt sure how much traffic was there for this kind of question.

thanks

You should be trapping way higher @ 438 rwhp. Is that tuned? and you actually put it on the dyno? I would guess your car makes it on the dyno but doesn't do it on the track. Your IATs go way high, computer pulls timing and you make around 375 rwhp, maybe, trapping 108.

Before I did anything I would want to know what my IATs are and what temp the computer was set to pull timing at.

You should be in the 114 trap range.

I say make your setup more efficient before driving it harder for more HP. Stall and DS gets my vote. I just installed LCA's and the DS is in the mail. We shall see in July how much they improve my times.

Simon1.
My inlet temps were 160 and it was a very hot day. So I knew I lost power.

I agree with u about just getting a stall and leaving my power the same. I'd like to hear how ur DS will do
