Hopefully I will get to make a couple passes in the car Friday. Just finishing up the tune,converter is too tight but I will yank it and restall when I put it away for winter.I will be happy to see some solid mid 10sec passes off the foot brake,gonna be a whole new driving experience.Sure pulls hard in boost and its nice to just point and shoot.I think i might like the new setup !

Well,may as well update. Found out as suspected the converter was WAY too tight,could not get the car up on boost at all at the light .2.1 sixty foots are NOT what I had in mind,and with the end of the season here,I wont know til next spring what it will do. On a good note,I did not break or hurt anything,the car felt good and came up on boost quick once I was rolling,gotta play with the WOT shifts but it should work out good. I am excited for next year,with the correct converter the car should launch very nicely. As a side note,I would like to personally apologize to the ricers who kindly shared pit space with me as I seem to have transferred my bad transmission luck to them as well. Sorry guys (and Gals !) Got to see several Vettes run,some very quick Camaro5 runs and that awesome Black Mustang(cant wait to line up with him next year) Gonna be a long winter,at least I feel like I am over the hump finally with the car driving and just details to work out.

Sorry to hear about your challenges, Vince. Now..take it to Vegas. Keep making passes! No need to stop just b/c RMR does.

Vince, give me the 4l80e and just goto a powerglide with a 9" that ECS just released.
I would call ECS about the converter. They run more auto high HP cars than anyone I know of.
