while out tuning and progressively footbraking higher and higher 5 hours after i installed the converter at my buddies shop. launched it at 3400 rpm's with et streets on the last pass. then right after i hit second boom!. no forward gears but i still had reverse. im pretty sure i broke the rear planetary. i know i shouldnt have launched that high but i was having too much fun lol. that converter really woke the car up. so now shes down for a bit. im gonna pull it and build it up myself during the winter.

Ha ha that scares me i was launching mine at 3k last week. I guess ill move it back down to 2500. I have the stock shift pressure i was gonna tune it a little more aggresively but i guess ill hold off on that. Did you put a trans cooler on?

yeah without a built trans i wouldnt go more than 2500. i have a shift kit also. i put in a tranny cooler long before the convertor. trans temp went no hotter that 185 on a hotter day. with the converter and cool air the max was 175

Evette will crack into the 12.3s, but who knows after that. She will need a new mod or two.
Miss you too babe.

i thought i wasnt going to be able to make it there this weekend, after this past monday. my clutch just decided to start slipping. luckily, going to the track solved my problem. i rode up there in my friends car and talked to a fella who had a couple rebuilt ones sitting at his house. awesome deal ftmfw :D

1_Hot_SOM_WS6 11-21-2008 08:50 PM

so it looks windy and cold for tomorrow. perhaps we could add some snow into the mix as well?

DadsZ28 11-21-2008 09:07 PM

Still undecided.....the da is gonna be negative a ton though!:-?

69BirdX 11-21-2008 11:34 PM

Cold and windy yes but suppose to be sunny and 0% chance of percipitation. Let me know i dont want to be there by myself

Slow 88 11-22-2008 03:47 AM

Well, work once again owns me so I won't be there but next week I will be...

DadsZ28 11-22-2008 06:15 AM

Sorry guys not going, between the cold and the junior dragsters I decided to not go today and try next week. Good luck to those who go and let me know how it is.

69BirdX 11-22-2008 08:35 AM

1_Hot_SOM_WS6 11-22-2008 10:32 AM
