I need to get his car out of my garage before I can really move on mine.
Rolled into around 60mph, boost came in hard, car spun a bit around 80, pedaled real quick, got back in it, car spun a little bit again around 100mph, pedaled it, car hooks up and I let off around 120 or so. When I let off the engine just drops straight to idle even though I'm still in 3rd gear.
I can't even comprehend what that would be like.
Man, your car sounds like a monster! I need to pick your brains a little bit before I start my swap.
Fun fact though, if you Google Map Kenly, NC, the street view is set to a white 240 parked at a Dairy Queen haha. I just thought that was funny.
Picked up the transmission last night. New clutches, steels, bushings, internal seals and an upgraded 36 element sprag(broke the stock one all to hell). I found a deal on the sprag($336 shipped) and he only charged $500 for all other work completed.
He let me know that my trans is now built identical to the one in his nitrous LS S10 that's been 5.42@132 @ 2900lbs on the footbrake in the 1/8th. He hasn't burnt up any clutches or broke the 36 element sprag so I'm very confident I'll be fine with my power level(about 250whp less than him). I'm still in the slow category IMO with a 6.5 @ 113mph lol
Going to thrash tonight after work to get the trans in and car back on the ground. There's been some **** talking on the local 1/8mile page about some street cars. I'm gonna try and quiet a couple people down a bit on Friday night. We'll see though lol
Sounds absolutely amazing bro. Maybe I've worked with only trash people in the past but your Trans guy was pretty quick on tackling that haha.
I've lived in this city on and off for 11 years and I still haven't gone to Coastal yet and my house is no more than 10 minutes away, just never been around long enough to finish a build to bring out there.
Next time you head out to any of the tracks let me know, I would love to see this thing move.
still a steel drum? I've had great luck with the 34 element setup from 4L80's
