New 60' time 1.274!!! I got my car back late Friday night from RPM transmissions after they did a transmission tune-up for me. Thanks Rodney and all the guys at RPM for building me a great transmission, differential, and drivetrain. I had the car aligned this morning and then made the 4 hour trip to Bowling Green Kentucky for their last day of test and tune for the year. BG is not know for the best traction especially with all the street cars on test and tune day. Anyway, the first pass was 1.313 60' time. I by passed the pits and went back to the end of the staging lanes in hopes of getting another pass in quickly. Given the way the car felt on the first pass, I made some suspension, tire pressure, and other slight changes while in the lanes. The next pass was 1.274 to 60', 6.096@111.73 to the 1/8, and 9.607@138.61 in the 1/4. Video and timeslip coming soon. The DA was 1100 -1300 feet. What is most amazing to me is that have Paul Smith's cathedral port, FAST 90mm intake, hydraulic cam, 427 that makes 490 rwhp in my car. My engine makes about 90 more rwhp but it is apparently sold, so I guess I will never know what it would have done with the new suspension, transmission, etc. Oh well, I guess time will tell what is next.
That is the big Truck Battle at the TT that day. There is going to be some 7-9 second trucks + the rest of us. I will be there to watch if I decide to sit it out. I am saving my tranny for cold weather.

That is crazy I was on the phone last week with them and I was wanting to do the whole T-400 but it just to expensive for my vette but they told me they had plenty of 9's cars with the 4L60 in it but I just don't see it lasting that long. Those tranny's are just junk to me but I am starting to think now that RPM is really doing something right with them. I am probably just gonna go with the 4L80 just to be safe tho.
It will probably be a normal TT, just a few more trucks running than normal. Most will have drag radials, not street tires. SGMP can handle heavy loads of traffic. I just went to the Camaro 5 event this Saturday, and I never waited longer than 10-15 minutes to get in a run. There was about 50 Camaros running lap after lap. That staff they have are Top-dogs !!!
DBN's car was putting every bit of that horsepower to ground for sure on this run! Congrats man glad to see the car working so well!!

I have been dealing with rodnay and the guys for a while now, and I have been watching them damn 4l60s fly, and not have any issues. i thought getting 1.4s in my vette was awesome, that stuff right there is crazy.. good work. ANYBODY thinking about doing 4l60-65 work should talk to tj and rodney..
