[I think I know the answer, but want to hear more opinions from those with experience.]
Setup is 4r70w with 3200-3400 rpm circle-d converter, full auto valve body with no transbrake, twin-turbos. I prefer to have a fully-automatic transmisison function with auto valve body (no manual vb), which rules out a transbrake unless someone has come up with a reliable one now for an auto vb.
What options do I have for being able to stage at higher rpms and get the turbos to spool up? Foot-braking ain't cutting it, as the brakes won't hold above 2200 rpm or so, but that's not enough rpms to spool up the turbos.
The problem is, I can only cut a 2.0 60' now, and that is killing my times.
I suspect that if I can rev higher, closer to 3500 rpms or a little more, it'll be where I need to be or a lot closer.
(Once the turbos kick on, things are fine. No spinning, tires grab, and she flies!)
Would a re-stalled converter do what I need? (I haven't talked to Chris at Circle-D yet). I want to maintain streetability as well, which the current converter is very nice on the street.
Or I won't be able to do much without a transbrake, and if I keep using the 4R70, is a manual vb my only option?
Or is there a better transmission setup I should consider in the future, with transbrake capability AND full automatic operation?
