240, I know Jake @ Eurocharged has a torque converter on his C32, but because of the converter was seeing torque that was more than the TCU would allow. This would cause poor shifts and semi-limp mode. This is, in addition to poor track prep, the biggest reason his times didn't improve at track day a few weeks ago...

I don't think the torque converter from the C is actually the same on the SRT. I think I remember Jake and Wayne at Eurocharged saying it was the one that fits the E55. Either way, overcoming the TCU issue seems to be a must once HP/TQ gets above a certain level...when there are breakthroughs in the TCU I am sure you will see a lot more people a) consistently in the 11s and b) with torque converters.

I'm sure Jake (lougn14) wouldn't mind explaining to you the problem he was having...but then again his torque is waaaayy up there.
