Actually, 1400 or so RPM sounds just about right for a stock converter. Doesn't sound like anything is wrong at all.

RE: brakestand rpm level

On my stock converter with my bigass M/T drag radials I can barely hold the brakes at 2 grand so 1500 sounds about right. I have a stock converter as well... I'm worried that when I get my new converter it still wont' let me launch where I want...
