Damn rock-on transmission ;) I want to change my converter when this Rock-On tranny goes but i cant get the damn tranny to blow up. Last night..2500' DA, it ran 10.25 @ 137...weight was 3820. This was with the 3.23 gear. I want to try a Yank converter. Will have to get with Yank on STR and my combo. I need something that hits hard off the line and is efficient up top....prolly like the pye3400. If Dave at Rock On could get that transbrake done i'd yank this sucker out TODAY!!!! Thanks Dave....tranny is still holding up fine...of course I drove the 125 miles back home from the track as always. I would like to know how much power it is holding...137mph and 3820# has got to be a lot!!!! "I'm giving you all she's got Sir!!!!!!"

That is very impressive. That's about as good of proof as you can get.
What kind of 60fts do you pull? I know my old Yank ST3500 was the hardest hitting converter I'd ever experienced. It created traction issues. I swapped to a Yank PT4200 which is a bit more suitable for my current set up. Yank does make a great stall converter. Thanks for the tranny report!

based on your mph and weight you are making about 750 hp

Can you get the brake to work without a the troubles of backin up and all like I have read on th400 cars? Like the tranny will act normal unless the brake is activated? If so i will seriously be considering a tranny from yall.

Its a work in progress. I am sure Dave will let us know when the problems are worked out with the t-brake. My car NEEDS one. I'd had 9s a long time ago if i could 60'. Gonna go try to get a little more out of her today though...what a Fathers Day?!!!!

dude, dave is awesome. A really really nice and helpful guy. I took my busted *** 700r4 to him and showed me all the ways i was had when i bought from florida. he said he could build me one for $1700, that would handle anything i could throw at it(hopefully 700hp, 800tq), as he said. Is that the same one he built for you?

I doubt its the same tranny. Dave is always trying to push harder so I am sure he has made some improvements since my tranny. Mine was built last year. It's hot todayh and I am going to Montgomery Dragstrip and try to tear it up again!!!
hey He's talking about a 700r4...we had some good results last night...but we are still crawling , going to shange some springs out I think they are bottoming out in the reverse input...**** will have to wait till next week....no doubt about it we'll get it...it's crawling ever soooooooo little we're close....Dave
I would like to get some prices on some parts.. I'm assuming that you have come up with a manual valve body for the 4L60E's.. Could you tell me more about it?? I've already got some parts for mine when I rebuild it but would like to go manual if possible..
Dave, I sent you a PM!

my suspension mods:
bmr tq arm
hal f/r shocks
air bag in right rear
Dave I tried dammit....ran another best today in the heat of 10.12 @ 137 on a 1.54 60'
It got 290 miles round trip on it today. This weekend I put 8 passes on it and 540 miles!!! I was lucky enuff to have my daughter tape all my runs....only to rewind the tape some and tape over my new best!!!
Who can complain though when it's your 13 yr old daughter taping you at the track and NEVER complaining about the 2.5 hour ride each way.

That is just plain awesome. That's what I call a real street car.
FWIW- I ran my 10 bolt for a good while and ran multiple 10 second passes (not low 10s though)
I installed an Eaton Posi, kept the bullet proof 3.23 gears, solid pinion spacer, T/A cover and stud girdle and I welded the axle tubes to the housing. I also added LCA relocating brackets as well. This rear held up to 1.43 60fts and never made a peep. It was working great when I sold it and is still going.
Kudos to ya Cablebandit and Rock-on.

Hey Billy! Oh yeah I ran the Prostars. I like them a lot. LOTS of grinding with no spacers but it was worth it.
