More good news, I just used a g-tech. (I know) Will be going to the track tomorrow. But anyway, it said 12.41@106 and before the tranny swap I went 96.5 in the 1/8. Something is up here and I don't know what. I would like to go low to mid 11's on the motor. And before Thursday and especially today thought that was possible.

I think I found it. Car feels stronger on the jug than it did with the six speed.

I 60'd better with mine. ive read it takes 37 hp to run the 400 and i think a 4l60 is about 25-30. correct me if im wrong. And my car felt so much slower esp. with no real mods. but i actually cut time of my 60'. no sort of gain up top (not that i was expecting any) but at least i didnt lose anything from my previous time. The stall made a huge difference.
