Default We got the car to hook with the 4L60E TB!!!!

We had to loosen the front end to put the car on the ragged edge, but it finally planted the tires and carried her on out. We went a 1.50 60ft on the back tires and then a 1.40 when we had to abort the run. One tire slipped a tad on the hit, but still ran a 6.41 pedalling it away from the center line. That 4L60E has a wicked first gear.lol.

We are going to try a new Circle D 8" converter in the 4L60E and see what she has to offer. I don't know that anyone has done that yet so stay tuned

It is a Rossler Brake, he has a patent on it. We installed it for James. He was having issues hooking at first, a little learning curve. But looks like he has it figured out.

That's badass. Must be a hairy ride carrying out the wheels that far.

Yeah we will be taming the front down a little at a time and try to keep her hooking. It is a little freaky not knowing where you are at for that long.lol. I could still see part of the wall so I had a reference. It's just a little much for my liking. We have a good feel for which direction we need to go on the suspension and a new 8" TC that should show off our current set up.
