Very, VERY interesting! So with the high stall torque converter, did you brake torque your SVX to build up the stall speed? It did get to 3000rpm right? What was your 60ft time as compared to when you did the 1/4 mile runs before the mod? I was looking to really improve the 60ft time, which would improve the 1/4 mile. The trap speed I understand may be a little lower but overall time should improve....at least 3/10th of a second. Good info so far.

BTW: Did you change anything else on the SVX after the torque converter mod, that could have slowed the car down (Ex: Larger diameter wheels)?
