Some new PB's from last night.

Been battling a converter issue for about 4 months and finally got it right with a 2200 triple disc from circle D. I know If I wanted to run some real times I could get a big stall and trans brake, but I enjoy driving the car with my ac and radio on from Florida to Georgia and my overdrive so this will have to suffice. Runs pretty well at that! If I could get it to 60' she'd really fly.

I'll have a video later waiting for someone to send it to me. Mind you I went from running 10.2@131 to these times just with a converter change and lock up in 2nd and 3rd.

So you gained 10 mph from a converter and lock up. Is that normal? I'm not up on auto's but seems almost too good to be true. What mph were you running with t56?

140.00 with t56, and yes from a converter swap. A single disc to a triple disc, like going from a spec 2 to a triple disc clutch on a manual. I was blowing through the converter with lock up on the single, that's all.

SO how do you like the auto over the manual?

Congrats!

He picked up .3tenths just from locking it up in 2nd rather than waiting till 3rd.

Stock longblocks??

No, it's a pro line rebuild. Upgraded rods, pistons, head studs. Still stock heads and cams though.

Lol i would have too, I swapped to my other other upper pulley so I'd be making the same boost as Greg's but didn't realize my belt was slipping hard til my 2nd pass. Swapped back to my other upper pulley and the bolt snapped when I hit 2nd! Shitty, my first pass I had a new PB at the 330' too.. I'm just gonna say it snapped because I hit 2nd too hard. Haha

 

[redfire03 svt]

[turbotrail93]

Yep me, my brother (ford2ner) and my dad's compound boost lightning will be there

Oh sweet. I meant to be at MIR racing that day, but if the weather looks bad or it gets cancelled, then I will be at the Dollar.
