flashing the converter is just mashin the peddle on the last yellow light...instead of it locking up at 1800 it will lock at 2300 give or take a hundred. i tried this with my car a few times sometimes it stuck most times it didnt...it only stuck when i was running 275/40's with stock gears.

But, I would try both and see how they work out. With this cooler air and your only mod being a drop in filter and no silencer I would hope mid 14's out of your car.
I posted this for you before you went to the track. Do you ever read what other people post?

You just need to go work on power shifting it and getting it out of the hole that's all.
