Default Bye Bye 12's

So after breaking a valve spring I went another way with the car. Installed a custom grind cam 228/230 588 591 112 lsa +4. Also went with 5.3 heads for the higher compression. Hoping for the best time result's coming soon will keep posted !

Okay so I made it to the track Friday night, not that great of a night... I put the Skinnies on the front and to my suprise first pass it pulled the left front wheel HELL YEAH !

I went a 12.17 @ 112mph with a 1.75 60ft. Not to bad seeing as how I was going 12.60's....
2nd pass went 12.18 with the same mph and 60ft....
3rd pass is when all hell broke loose. I zinged the converter shifting into 3rd so I shut her down. The drive home sucked, the tranny was getting hot the converter was shot annd wouldnt lock @ 50mph. So I pulled the converter today, tranny fluid was not burnt at all.....

BUT- I dumped out all the fluid from the Yank SS 3600 Stall to find that its broke and **** it ratteling around..... I just dont understand how my little ole cam only car put a beating on this converter so easy seeing as in under power'd for its 650hp rating lol... So Im sending it off to Circle D to have it fixed and done up righ..... More times to come onceshe is back together ...... Damn I can almost see the 11 second time slip in my hand....

Did not talk to yank, I bought the converter used and when it broke I just went with Circle D cause they are local and very well known !
