I've been fighting some issues with my faceplated T56 (actually, just 3rd and 4th are faceplated), and it seems that they are finally resolved. Here is an in-car video of my first pass at Cecil yesterday. Notice how clunky the 1/2 (synchroed) shift was, compared to 2/3 and 3/4 (faceplated).

Before, I would either be locked out of 4th, or get a big grind/clunk. So this is a big improvement, even though I didn't beat my best time when the tranny was synchroed.
Next step is a rebuildable LSD that will handle the abuse better than the 31 spl Ford Trac loc I'm using now (and constantly rebuilding). I think I'll hate driving my car with a detroit locker or a spool, so I want to stay with an LSD. Any recommendations?
Notice also, the guy at 0:38 passing me like I was standing still. He had some problems off the launch (1.55 60')...but still finished the 1/4 at 9.3 @ 155, amazing!
