I've run my torque converter at 8,000 rpm's with no issues on my drag bike. Running 125'. It takes some trial and error to get where you want to be. I think something that happens on these topics is members WANT the answer. Sometimes it will take patience and changing a lot of set ups to arrive at your final ratio.
What kind of set up do you have on your TAV? I have the stock read spring in my torque converter and just purchased a yellow Spring to change that out to see what I can get out of it. I've gotten my minibike up to 43 miles an hour but I still want more speed I had a 10 tooth Front sprocket and a 60 tooth rear sprocket. I just changed my rear sprocket to 48 tooth but haven't had a chance to do a speed test yet.
So I ran mine at the track last weekend. Did great and turned a bunch of heads. Then I cranked the timing up and turned the power up the next morning and it messed up the belt. Found out the engine has been crooked in the chassis the whole time and it was chain binding under load.
Ran it 4 times all within .20 every pass.
2.26 60' time
10.40 1/8 mile
With stock flywheel and no timing so rpms stopped at 5750 everytime. Turned up timing and it went to 7000 and blew the belt up after unloading the rear tire ! So that was a rush. Haha
It's always in the setup so stuck with it you will get it.

Dude you have to post a vid!!! I would like to get to at least 50MPH on my bike. But I've topped out at 43. Still haven't had a chance to do another speed trial cause of rain here, but I changed the rear to 48 tooth and got a Yellow driven spring that will be here tmrw. I want to try with the 10-48 set up before I change out the springs
It had a 44c Magnum driver that was set at 2900rpm but it locked it up after this pass. It was so bad I couldn't even get it apart to fix it.
So leading cause of destroying drivers........... Don't exceed the max RPM !
I was at 5750 RPM every pass at the end. Then I turned it up the next morning and it didn't like 7000+rpm. Lol so we're going with a full manual 3d engineering clutch this time.
