After dealing with the typical issues of racing a 6speed car for a couple seasons I decided it was time to swap in a th400. The car ran consistent 11.3x's at 124 with 1.6x 60ft times using the m6. I replaced the t56 with a FTI th400 and one of their custom converters. I had installed a used nitrous outlet plate kit right before I pulled the t56 but never made a pass on the spray.

-ls6 crate motor with hand ported heads, BTR 4 cam and FAST 102
-3540lb raceweight
-4.11's and 26in stiff wall slick
-150 shot
The first pass I let out at the 1/8 and made a personal best (left slip, right lane). I went on to run the full 1/4, spun on the hit then ran out of gear and had to let out multiple times due to being all over the limiter. Over all I am very happy with the new set up. The converter seems to be quite lazy on motor how ever. The DA was 20xx for these runs

Great ET and MPH for spinning and running out of gear

Thanks, I need to get a 28in tire under it. Maybe that will let me squeak through the 1/4

I hear ya. I run a 26" drag radial and spin all of 2nd and sometimes a little of 3rd on the 150 hit lol

Great times for the first time out. That car has a 10.1-10.2 in it with the right gearing and a low 1.4 60ft. It should mph around 131-132 once dialed in. 28" tires might not be enough to get you through the quarter depending on converter slip (you might need to change to 3.70's with a 28").

BTW, what FTI converter are you running (size, model number)? Also, what is it stalling to N/A and on the bottle?

Thanks man, I had a feeling a gear change was ok my future. I am unsure of the model number on the converter. I will look at the paper work when I get home. I do know it's 9.5in and stalls to 4100 if I mat the gas and hold the transbrake. No clue on the spray. I need to work on getting some suspension, as I am all stock springs and shocks.

Nice!! What did it run all motor with the th400?

Thanks cyber. I will have to look back at the slips but I believe it was a 7.33 at 96.

Here is one of the motor passes I made. I let off at the 1/8.

Get those 28s on there

Made two new personal best last night. The DA was much better and I am figuring out the new set up a bit more as well. I believe with some gears/tires and a few tweaks I will have a 9.9x street car

I would definitely step up to a 28" tire before changing the gears.

I will, I bought some used 28in pro bracket radials. I'm not sure it's going to be enough though

You definitely need 28" tires but I still think you may need to take some gear out of it even with them...that is a strong runner regardless.

Thanks bud. I'm sure I will eventually swap to a 3.73 and 28. I'm hesitant to throw the 28's on right now since I'm worried about sticking a radial with my mostly stock suspension.

Update... made a few upgrades and put on a used set of 28in pro bracket radials. The car left much harder than it ever has before. I would have loved to see what the 60ft was.
