Default Went to the track tonight.....aight I guess.

Went to the tracks last night and this was the best I could do.

1/4 mi. ET: 13.122
60 foot : 2.011
MPH : 108

It was last minute and I had a full tank of gas. I also had to take my foot all the way off the gas and short shift at 5 to 6k so I could get it into third. Having the problem with my trans. On other runs when I shift from 2nd to 3rd past 6k it like goes into 3rd but there is nothing there. My buddy was saying my reverse lights were comin on when I was not going into third. But its impossible because I'm right there. Pull out and let off the gas and it goes right back into 3rd. Dunno what the deal is. Gonna throw in the 5.0 shifter this weekend with everything else.

Good to see another Hawaii guy on this board! Shifting troubles really kill good ET. Hope you get it all squared away soon. Good luck with the rest of your planned mods that I see in your sig.

By any chance is your LT1 white and have too much torque (limited traction)? I may have met you before at the track.

Yah, I know Drew, Rex & Charlie. They are a bad influence on me. They make me want to spend more money to go faster so I don't have my doors blown off by them.

I go to the track about once every 1-2 months. Because they are closing soon, I 'm planning to go a bit more frequently. Hope to see you at the track!
