You guys all have my dream builds... I hate all of you!
I guess I shouldn't say that I picked up another project car then. :shrug:

What trans do you have? Different ones have different parasitic losses.Did you only give up 50rwhp going from a t-56 to an auto? If so that darn good. I lost 100rwhp/200rwtq but on the street is is f'n crazy fast.

My converter seems to be loose so I expect to lose...............
Do you have a locking converter? Who did you end up going with to build the tranny?
I had the wrong dip stick and found out the hard way that I was actually about 4 Quarts low on fluid at the track yesterday.
The longer one is the one I had, the shorter one is the one I should have had.
Ihad built 4r70w, locked up the converter 1 TIME in second and twisted the 300m input shaft ,not a good idea locking them up under full throttleThere are places making lock-up converters for 1000rwhp cars with the 4R's. BC Automotive supplies such a converter and some even lock it up in 2nd and keep it locked into 3rd gear. Apparently they live.
The lock-up would be nice for a street car as it would cut down on the heat also. Plus it's like having a little extra gear.
They can be made to lock up in 3rd under WOT and live. I'm not advocating doing it in 2nd but some do successfully. I would not do it in 2nd as there is no reason to do so.Ihad built 4r70w, locked up the converter 1 TIME in second and twisted the 300m input shaft ,not a good idea locking them up under full throttle
