Default New converter

So today I was at Alternative Auto, getting my new converter installed. The specs said 3000 stall, in reality it's more like 3500-4000.

Saturday it's back to the shop so Lidio can tweak the shift schedule to fit the converter, right now it's using my old tune which gets a little confused as to what gear to be in during normal speed up/down driving.

I do like the little slingshot effect when I get on it though!

Now that the shifting is set up correctly... wow... my car feels like a race car!

(And yes, those of you with real race cars are allowed to snicker, but I'm very happy with my daily driver )
