Default Big thanks to FTI and FLT
Won the street modified class at hot import nights at new england dragway last night. With the new FTI converter and FLT trans my car has been dead on consitent this year. I highly recommend this combo to anyone looking for a bulletproof trans and a hard hitting efficient converter. Cutting consistent 1.53 60 foots and hitting the shifts every time in a 3500lb 407 rwhp car 3.73 gears in a 9" trapping 117. Perfect for the 11.50 heads up pro tree class. Now if I can get the driver mod to get me some .0xx lights. Also any of you north east guys check out Slowhawk for engin and trans tuning.

Good to hear Ted that your new combo is doing what it is supposed to do. Wining races! I see a couple of others in this thread that went through the same headaches you have in the past. FLT> brand X. Keep us updated on your race season and if you need anything let us know! Vince

Awesome results....my FLT level 4 has been running strong and taking all that I can throw at it since I installed it in October of '07. Shifts are as fast and firm as they were on day one and it's never missed a beat. Looks like you have a great combo there!

heres a pic from yesterday. Car launches consisitent and hard and hits all the shifts at the same point every time. Consistency wins races.
