Doing big things with a tranny
Friggin pumped finally time. I have been so busy with life and work i havent had time to do anything with the car. It's been on the road twice this year for about 10 mins each time.
Dropping it off at a local speed shop i deal with at work a lot who cut me a deal on labor i couldn't pass. Front brakes are so toast i hate even driving the damn thing right now. So it'll be dropped off in the AM and I'll pick it up after work then its right back into the barn and being torn apart for the UPR front end and coil overs as well as finishing the line lock, getting rid of my nozzle for the plate and an intake spacer and brakes all around. If Mickey Thompson could get it together ill have tires for my dragstars soon but everything i want is on backorder.
Hopefully the converter and 4.10s i got last season work well with eachother. 12's on motor or i burn it down lol

Easy 12's, as in light goes green, right foot planted, vision blurs from the G's, 12.5 seconds later let off the gas and apply the brakes. DONE......I'll congratulate you now. Well done on your 12 sec. street car.
When will the first runs happen ? Looks like another cool summer up here so DA should be good.

Haha I've got 100+ passes on the car and had gotten it from 13.80's to 13.40s with no changes other than driving and tire pressure etc. and that was just a drop in filter, catback drag radials and tune. I know what the car likes it just isnt performing right now. I'm on a nitrous tune right now so hopefully thats part of my issue. I did discuss it with Chris before ordering the converter and that is what he had suggested.

Hate to burst your bubble bro, but the reason you're not cutting 12's in because you got a stick shift not an auto!

Congrats on the Converter!
I never liked those leather boot shift covers for the auto because when dropping of manually shifting gears, I always worry I'll upshift into Neutral or Reverse lol
