Do you know what the stall flash is and the recovery after shift ?

I think 4:88 is to much, I used to run a 355 sbc that'd go 5.40s with a 4:10 gear and 60ft 1.15-6 no issue, took me 3 converter changes to get there though.



the guy who built my trans and converter says its not the trans or converter,go figure,,everyone else says it is not my motor,,so the guy that built my trans has a 456 gear that was only run one week at pinks,so i'm buying it for $150 and trying it,,i'm still saying it could be a tight converter,,,steve
