Yup--350mm. Works best in muscle cars. I've tried 330mm and smaller. They look like the steering wheel equivalent of a shrunken head.
Converter is our 9.5" 2500 stall MuscleDrive™ billet converter. Super tight and locked up at low revs, but listen to it scream at WOT!!! The torque multiplication provides a slingshot effect that can't be achieved with a manual (or OE style 11-12" converter). Nothing like it. We have comprehensive answers to questions that the other guys haven't even asked yet.
A few of our customer store the Compushift display/tuner in the glove compartment. But most mount it line of sight. First and foremost, you can tune on the fly without having a laptop sliding around on the passenger seat or taking your eyes off the road. No need for a helper. From there, the Compushift display shows gear position. In automatic mode, gear display shows 1, 2, 3, 4--4, 3, 2, 1. In paddle shift mode, it shows S1, S2, S3, S4--S4, S3, S2, S1. That's the primary reason to mount it line of sight. And it doesn't rotate with the steering wheel. The display/tuner also shows lock up status, trans temp, vehicle speed, line pressure, rpm. It even has a built in accelerometer. So you can do simulated rear wheel dyno runs as well as inline accelerative/braking g-loads. Again: Nothing like it.
At Gingerman, The Bowler 4L65RR never exceeded 205 degrees F. Which is great considering that the Redline Oil Synthetic D4 is rated to almost 400 degrees F. Vinnie's car is now testing Redline Oil Synthetic D6 which is stable past 400 degrees F. D6 is also thinner, so shifts happen faster. I can't believe how quick the shifts are in Vinnie's 4L80E. Bowler has perfected the blueprinting and calibration process for manumatics. Shifts are quick, but never harsh. Best way to describe it is "Oomph!"--a quick tug.
