Bit unfair comparing a transbraked launch with a larger convertor, than a non-transbraked launch with a smaller convertor.
Were you also running a different manifold?
Like I said, not being smart, just want to know what the story is ;)

Same manifold. 11.85 = glide 11.96 = c4.
Compare the two :
4500rpm on a c4 is the same as launching @ 5500rpm+ on a glide.
c4 = 2.46 1st gear
glide = 1.76
At the pointy end they are both the same 1:1. What is it like? Try launching a c4 in 2nd gear. Thats how tall a glides 1st is. The higher stall combats the tall 1st. In actual fact I think a c4's 2nd gear still isn't as tall as a glides 1st. Not sure and don't have my books handy to verify it.
Where did I gain that tenth? My guess is by removing that extra gear change ;)
