No doubt man. Really wanna see a Matt Walter shop happen in the next couple years.

 

Great news! Cale and Tinzy Aronson of Black Magic Clutches have come on board with the SpeedMu11et's efforts for 2017. This is a paramount step forward as clutch management is a tough concept to wrap your head around, and having folks like Cale and Tinzy on board with our program is huge. I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of gains are to be had. I will need a data logger and that is going to be my very next purchase after the trans is taken care of.

Cale reviewed the combo and sent me these ratios.

3.167
2.200
1.653
1.286
1.000

the rpm drops look like this:



pretty excited. the trans is almost paid for now and i am hoping to take delivery before the end of the year.

As for Monster Clutches, I am still a huge fan boy of Steve's stuff and Steve and I have an amazing relationship still. I intend on using one of his clutches in every street car build I have my hands in. When looking at the nuts and bolts of my program, it makes the most sense to move away from the diaphragm clutch and put a long-style adjustable in for maximum clutch management control.

 

Looking like some pro stock shifting going on there

I have to ask though...how high you spinning it out the backdoor to see 135-140 range in high gear ?

Oh, and looking like you're going to need a bigger signature with all these sponsors....not a bad problem to have

 

Bad *** Matt. Hope it means it will be together sooner!

 

i go through the traps at 7400ish now. it's been as high as 136 mph. those calculators do not account for tire growth at speed. it may or may not mean it will get together sooner, but what it does mean is less chance for it to go together wrong the first time

 

Got it

forgot about that too

 

yesterday was a good day

 

I think I need one of those. Is it streetable?

 

yes, as streetable as any other faceplated transmission. and yes, you need one

 

Mine was all kinds of fun.
As long as you crave the mechanical violence that comes with a faceplated trans, this unit is the ****

 

Ok, that rocks back and forth and eliminates the H pattern correct? What are the chances you won't have to move the through floor existing shifter hole? I cannot wait to see this thing in action on your car Matt. It isn't even my **** and I'm excited about it. Lol.

 

if you could bottle it up, i'd drink it in place of my coffee in the morning...

yes correct, no h-pattern, just a vertical gate.

chance of it going in the t56 holes ZERO, lol. i'll outline what i end up doing. many tunnel mods to come

i'm excited too. can't wait to get it in and start getting some footage to share.

 

Awesome.

Did I miss it or can I ask what the bell housing situation was? If you posted it, I have already forgot.

 

Quicktime makes a bellhousing, part number RM-6036, that works with this transmission behind an ls1.

 

Any smallblock or big block bell will work as well

 

wouldn't that require some additional goofy adapter flywheel or pilot bearing extension or something? this bell is supposed to be able to work with factory ls1 type flywheels. although i'm not certain what Cale is going to be doing for me yet anyway, lol.

 

Matt....we're all waiting ......some patiently

for...................

 

I used a gm pilot bearing (LS7 vette aplication), and my old bbc bellhousing. I had a mcleod alum flywheel which was +.200" thicker. I realized after that the +.200" flywheel was not necessary, as that is easily made up with an adjustable height pivot ball. I did need to fab up a custom zbar and pivot ball mount to run the mechanical clutch linkage.
If a guy runs any regular LS flywheel, it will need to be drilled for the type of clutch you plan to run

 

i'm running a hydraulic throwout bearing from mcleod. hopefully it's not a big complication, lol.

 

So, I would say I would be so out of the element thinking manual trans trying not to use the clutch shifting. But then I could trick myself to thinking it is my usual 4L80 with a manual controlled setup. Lol
