First track day with Th400.....very disappointing. (Video inside)
Just finished my Th400 swap last week, and was anxious to get to the track this morning. Told my buddies that the car feels much faster....but that was on the street. Didn't translate well at the track today. 1st pass it had the car turned all the way down (11psi) and coming out the hole with no boost...just rolling into it that proved to be the best pass of the day. It still spun pretty good but it went a 1.8 sixty....don't laugh....used to go 2.2 sixties. The second pass it added a few psi of boost, WHAT DID I DO THAT FOR??? Anyway, here are the vids.

Gives me some hope. I actually had a buddy offer to let me make a pass on his ET streets yesterday. But I decided against it, as I needed to drive the car home. Rear end probably wasn't going to have ANY of that.

You can't draw a conclusion (from 2 passes) until you relearn how to drive it and do some fiddling to find out what it wants.
If it was easy, anyone with a credit card could go fast.....
It is good that some improvement was shown that shows your setup has improved and there is potential.

I literally wanted to cry after I finished building my s10 I had my first few passes and I csn show u videos of white smoke all the way to the finish. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Leaving on no boost leaving on 2lbs rolling out tried the trans brake a few ways no luck tried foot brake no luck then once I got mad the second time to the track after suspension changes and it was still doing it I started shocking the tires with 7 to 8lbs of boost off the brake and it was a whole new animal I finally was getting results I'm at the 1.6 mark with 3.27 gears not great but it's a street truck on a wore out pair of m/t pro 275s literally they looked like slicks no sign of a groove wear bar left. New tires and it's doing great trust me u will.be able to get the results after some.time.

104mph in the 1/8 and 133 in the quarter is no joke. With the power you are making I would not even leave the house without some Mickey Thompson drag radials. Cars that make as much power as yours are dangerous on regular radials. If you want a totally streetable 10 sec car with regular radials you need to look into awd turbo cars...lol. Put some tires on that thing and let it eat. 133mph is low 10's in the 1/4 and nothing to be disappointed about.

Yea, things should really pick up when I can leave on the transbrake. I did drive to the track, which was why when a buddy offered his ET streets....I decided not to bite. I feel that if I did, I would have been looking for a way home. And yes, I've made some highway pulls. Right now, that's about the only area that the car is truly fast is the highway.

This is true, any and everybody that was making any kind of power was spinning. But being the opening day in my area....I just had to go.
