I installed the Rossler transmission with the first ever rossler 4l60 trans brake. Tested the brake a couple times in the drive way it holds immediatly and lets off perfectly. Drove it around all week all the shift points stayed the same it shifts with the factory computer just like clockwork, you would never know the car had a brake in it. I went to norwalk monday
The rental got cut short due to water on the track in the morning but we still had a good time and i got 6 passes in 3 on motor and 3 on the gas.
My new best on motor was a 11.08 at 121. with a 1.49 60' my best 60 before the brake was a 1.7 on motor. the converter stalls at 4800 on the brake I floor the car when i see the first yellow light its stalled up and hang on at the green all i can say is WOW does it hit. I have some suspension tuning to due to get it to hookup better on the juice. my nitrous is locked out when the brake is applied and comes on when the brake is released I have the NX mazimizer. The first 2 nitrous passes i just blew the tires off. the third was a 1.44 60' almost no nitrous in first gear so it would hook. it also cuts out do to rpm well before the end of the run so i have to make some more adjustments but i did get a new best 10.07 at 136.48 time to put the 300 jets in and get the tune and nitrous setpoints adjusted. looks like my first 9 is right around the corner.

Congrats, sounds like fun !

Watching you launch the car was amazing. Everytime we watch the vid from Monday, I pause it and point out how far you lifted the front end. I'll be watching for your title change to single digit club!!

It's amazing that car is still street legal (mostly)!

Rossler is the man when it comes to building trannies. If that thing holds up in your tank. Anybody should be able to run one. Soon to be another single digit street car in Ohio.

That's a great report. I am going to jump up the tranbrake unit on my Rossler as well once I get the car back and all dialed in. Keep us posted on the durability of the tranny. I love mine so far. I can't even imagine launching off of a transbrake over how it leaves right now.

Good luck!

Durability is my concern on that one, but I know Ray will post up when its time for refreshing.

I had a T brake in my reverse patterned manually shifted 4L60E along time ago, worked like a champ but the tranny kept burning up the 3-4 clutch pack. I've been curious about the Rossler 4L60E. I have a Rossler Terminator IV Pro Mod power glide in my T/A, it's in it's second season of racing and hasn't had a glitch yet.

My 700R4 (same as 4L60E) held up all of last season to close to 100 bottom 11 and high 10 second passes... This year I have a about 20 mid 10 NA & mid 9 spray passes @ 145+mph and it's still holding up... but my tranny builder (one of the best in Canada) refuses to install a Tbrake in it as it he feels it would be a recipe for disaster... at this stage I am looking to sell my tranny and move to a 400 or a glide, in case anyone is interested in one
