Good run, Jason. Yeah, I saw the one wheel burnout before staging. You would have caught him if it didn't dance around on the 1-2 shift as well. Just imagine what your car will do in cooler weather!

McLeod Twin-Disc and adj. master, I wonder why we're the only ones that can make it work right <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I am all about that jetting up idea! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> We haven't run out of fuel yet...

Jason, besides the pistons are you running a pretty much stock bottom end? Stock rods? Stock rod bolts? etc...Thats a lot of TQ for stock rods!

BTW KICK ASS MPH....137 from a 346? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Stock Rods, ARP Rod Bolts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Jason

The tuning on the car is set pritty safe... So the bottom end should be okay for a while <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Actually the only problems we've ever had was with the McLeod slave cylinder when they were still selling it. The clutch setup has been flawless in operation. I believe the people that do have any kind of clutch problems are not bleeding their setup properly and thats what gives clutch manufacturers a bad name.

I got a new motor for my trans am, but they tried everything they could to get outta it.

I know when I was still turning wrenches at the dealership, those aftermarket warranties would try to only use junkyard parts. Esp if it was something big like a motor or tranny. We would install a junkyard motor and have it smoke a little (burning oil) and they would tell us it ran and it was there problem if it didn't last until the warranty was up. We had many upset customers because of those guys.

GMPP would typically handle it just like factory warranty with GM parts. I have heard that they have started changing on a few things, but haven't experienced it myself yet. Perhaps someone who deals with GMPP currently can chime in.
