Fast 90 / 90 NW TB ( minor clean up on intake )
FLT Level 3 w/ Yank SS4000
Strange 12 bolt w/ spool and 3.42

The car still has some left in it as you can see by the 60, but we were slowly working into things by lowering the window switch, but just ran out of time for the day.

OK Larry, your mission if you accept it, is to make my LT1 turd as fast as your Dads car. You know the rest, limited funds, pushing a stock shortblock, trans and rearend to it's limits. No problem, right?

Leaves smooth.

You guys put a spool in that car...how is it on the street?

How much more can really come off an already impressive 1.46 60' with a full weight car?

With the abuse you guys are successfully throwing at the Level 3 transmission, why would one need to go Level 4/5

yes it has a spool as does my car and my brothers Malibu. The cars are fine and really only notice it when turning sharp.

The car has been a 1.43 before, so with a bit more foot break and moving the window switch there is for sure more in the 60ft.

I do want to try locking the converter in 3rd for a pass and I'm sure we will see some nice gains. The stall is a little loose on the gun.... I hope Dave doesn't see this
