It's a runner! Pinks is a go! yay!

Just finishing the last of the repairs and just waiting on a couple of items to show up. Started the car tonight and shifted the transmission through the gears and it worked good!

I had an issue where I thought I had no second gear but it was only car the car was not loaded down and I couldn't feel it shift since the new converter must be pretty slippy.

Can't wait to get it over to the track and see if there is any improvement at all.

Thats awesome man, that is going to run hard at Pinks...

What stall did you go with?

I had art carr build me a custom one. They tightened the converter up a bit since on the nitrous it would flash to high and blow off the tires.

Yeah makes sense, thats sick bro! I'd imagine at your power level and 1/4 mile, you'd need some serious custom stuff lol Laughing

well It really ran pretty well considering it was pretty much stock suspension lol.

Not anymore lol!

I have yet to see exactly what the stall will be I know I can still touch the two step on the brake and that was set at 3500

Prolly a 3800-4000 stall, pretty good stall for a non high revving motor.

Should run like mad!

On another note, I hope my 3200 stall isn't too big Embarassed

yea well I ran a 4k stall but it was a little too loose. I would launch and it would flash to over 5 on the gas.

Shifting at 7200-7500 it not too much of a low rpm motor lol

Does anyone around here have an Degree measuring tool for the adjustable torque arm?
