Yeah dude, took your inspiring advice to the track. Went four rounds and never missed a beat, except for eventually losing to a 10 sec. pro bracket car. Didn't run the #s with my 42 psi street radials (13.3s), but the shift issue was my only concern anyway. 3rd gear was cake with my new Triax. Don't think I'll ever try to drive a stang w/o a STS again. Thanks again for the input.
hey, anytime man.
As it seems American Powertrain knows a lot more than i, as its his buisness. if ya want i can sell ya my TR3650 so you dont have to be out a tranny for the time being. ill charge you shipping + $100 if you are intrested.

Thanks man. A set of drag radials is next in line, here the Nitto 555 is descent. I go 13.1 will street radials @ 25 psi. They should knock of a couple/few tenths. Your advice was/is very much appreciated btw. That kind of stuff goes a long way. You got my biz the minute I need it.

Runnin' 12s
Looks like you have a sound plan for steppin' up. It is a lot of fun passing on the transmission knowledge I have gained over the years. I know if I give good advice and help whenever possible it will pay off in the long run.
Transmissions are one of the least understood systems in the car. For some reason engines and diffs get all the attention. Heck, in most tech articles you get two pages of engine, half a page of rear end and a single sentence about the transmission. Something like, "backing the hot Mod motor is a World Class Tremec t5."
I think even the tech editors out there are a little less informed about transmissions than they are about the other components. Frustrating.
Anyway, I'm glad to help and happy to hear that you ran good numbers with your crunchy trans! Let me know if you have any other questions. AP
