It's not the gear ratio that makes it short is what i'm trying to say, it's the converter size.If i was able to upload some pic's i'd show you some dyno comparisons that show it.A while ago I made up a extra modified GMHv6 converter to fit the Btr trans for a BA fitted and Tested at Heinrich performance and tuning in one of his cars. it come on eariler with extra 20kw right through the rev range but with slower top end speed.T4ME has the first stock stall Super Charged Torque Converter of mine in his BA and has improved his track times considerably,,as well as giving a bit better fuel economy around town!VStrong Super Charged Torque Converters (TM)
