Default M6 to a TH400 track results

ok previous best was 10.61 @ 128 w/ a 1.57 60ft with the M6 ......

came off the foot brake @ 1800 and ran a 10.25 @ 130 w/ a 1.40 60ft

car ran 6.87 @ 103 in the 1/8th previously new time was 6.49 @ 105

i know the car has quite a bit more in it, track was packed today so maybe a track rental so i can fine tune the suspension but i know coming off the TB the car should rip .....video will be up in a few days

but needless to say it was the best mod so far
video of both runs ......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHUgbVBMwH4

i see that happening also. i guess even though there is less rwhp when your foot never leaves the floor and with those fast shifts with the right vert it can pick up mph also.
OP did you do any weight removal or anything else besides the tranny swap ?anyways sweet times, congrats

I had the exact same results... Dropped .5 off my 1/4 mile time even with a convertor that is messed up... (too loose)... Great times... I'm sure its got more in it... but a 1.4 short time is very impressive to say the least...

what i meant to ask was there any other weight removed after your best m6 pass ? i knew it was lightened but didn't know if the only thing changed after best m6 pass was the trans. either way you have a very fast beast.
