yeah ended up going paying 160 to race T/S and then on my first pass I run a 11.30 at 121.77 and smoked my c4 during the run should been in the 11 teens on that pass. So 160 for one run luckly i had my trailer there.

ALSO would like to thank Bill for all the help checking out the tranny after we got back to the pits, not any guy would crawl under a hot car leaking tranny fluid for ya. always a stand up guy

front pump failure and that the bell housing from JW is not made square so it was putting side load on the pump causing the converter to become scored. Still waiting to hear from CTS transmissions to see how much they want to fix.

yep chucks trans service is where i took it. had to get a remaned pump. got the trans back last Friday put it in friday night then went to the village ford track rental at milan Saturday morning only to have the trans fail in the burnout box again. The converter came out of the trans and caused the pump to break along with scoring the hub of the converter that i had just had re hubbed and re stalled at dynamic so have to get a new pump and a new converter again gotta pay to play i guess. There was one good thing that came out of Saturday the only run I was able to make I picked up 2 mph at the 1000' mark but ran the same mph on the top end so I know i need to go to a 3.55 to make the most out of the new stall.
