Since you don't drive or race on dynos I wouldn't worry about it one bit. The ET and MPH you list in your sig are excellent. That's the way to measure the value of your mods. I didn't see a better converter listed. Add that if you haven't already and say hello to low 13s.

Its still has the stock converter. The numbers are not too bad when u avg in a 20 percent or so loss through the drivetrain for the auto trans i guess.

Not sure what to think of those numbers honestly. Judging from your track times and trap speed my lil LB9 should be right there too with my 3.23 gears. Maybe if I can launch the car I can match your ET as well. I have the stock intake parts as too.

However in real life, if I saw your car go a 13.40 it would be the fastest street tired thirdgen i have ever seen. I dont know why but every thirdgen I have ever seen around is a turd. And the ones I do see that might be fast never run at the track. Look at it this way, I have never been beaten by any thirdgen that wasnt tubbed out, or even seen one that would beat me. There has only ever been one thirdgen I have ever raced that was even close and that was on the street, thats pretty sad.

Not too shabby! Remember the car is a "package" deal- the dyno only tells some of the story. Don't be discouraged!
