Greg, I have two convertors I'm going to try, the first is the one that came with the Tempest and its a Continental "tight" 10" that really won't offer any benefit with Wide Ovals on the track, but, I'm curious to see how 'tight' it is. The second is a stock GM 13" factory convertor, which I prefer since it is tight and will work best with the torque the XV 400 makes (down low and right now).

The Continental will flash to 3400 rpm with sticky tires and the stock one to 2000 rpm. According to the previous owner, the Continental will break loose power-braking at 2400 rpm on Wide Ovals, so its pretty tight...obviously higher with stickies.
