with a 8.2 1/8 it seems like you losing something after the 1/8 mark. I recently ran 12.9 with 8.4 1/8. Maybe You just need your shift points to be adjusted. hope this helps

ya what kind of tune, a dyno or mail order? A dyno tune would be a good start, or find a different tuner.

car has an issue with power. be it the tune or something else. i'd expect those mods to easily generate a high 11 sec slip.

Trans just been refresh. I put it in last sat. Bad trans ran a 13.5 and 1/8 8.8. So I guess its in the tune. I just hate twice spending money twice.
