Default First trip to the track...

With the new motor. It went 7.87@91.81 with a shiotty 1.90 60' time. I am satisfied with the mph but this thing leaves the line like a turd. I need to get a different converter in a bad way. The one I have stalls way to low out of the rpm band to be effective.

With the right converter it should be. The mph is good for it anyway.

That is a pretty good time man. Converters are a real tricky business...Stay away from TCI altogether. I was running a 3500 super street fighter and the thing did not stall anywhere close! I went back to a T-5 GForce...

No not yet...

Gonna try and get it running decent and all the little bugs worked out first. Then it will goto the dyno and see if I can find a few more hp.
