Chris,
I only just came across your thread. Excellent feedback.....this is exactly what I want to hear. The TC is working out great for you and I can not wait to get mine installed, especialy after what I went through.
Anyway, I plan on heading down to SRT during mid week of Aug 16th. Will definately share numbers on my TC install and G-meter readings.
BTW, it's that video clip of the post TC install that made me order mine! After seeing that GS put down those 2 rows of rubber I knew that it was finally time for me to get mine.

Hameed, I think that was a fluke. I asked MO about this and this is the first time he had this issue. The only other time there where issues was in the very beginning when he was helping PI develop and test these TC on the GS.
Your installer will tell you right away. The holes on the flywheel did not align correctly with the holes on the PI TC that Mo received. It probably wasn't correctly machined by PI. Anyway, we tested the new TC and it lines up correctly. Now I just have to find time to make the 250 mi journey back down to SRT.

I had my torque Converter installed this week on my gs400 and though it will chirp the wheels with the VSC turned off I am still unable to do a burnout. (I Love GS4) do you have any other mods other than the TC?
By the way I have the factory 16” wheels and TC is my first mod

Dog gone Mr Jones, my stocker can do a smokey burnout!!! (lots of practice maybe? I use Romini's method, juuust enough to lock front, but rear's will start turning)
As far as nailing it from a stands-still, it depends upon the road, but, with VSC off It'll always get at least some tire squeal.
I don't have my TC in yet, but I'm piling up the $$$ to get it done.

I can do it that way, but I want to be able to do it like in omegagavins video.
he didn't do a break stand. at least I don't think he did?
