Default Few videos from last night >>>

These are thanks to a friend from last night. He runs a low 10-second third-gen. I ran an 11.14 on this pass:

How much did you spray on that run...and do you have a trans brake?

Are you running that Yank Extreme 4000 converter?? Can you tell me how much that cost you if you don't mind...

Thanks,
Bos

Our track is pathetic for traction. I do have a trans-brake, but I was foot braking on that launch. Think I got a 1.77 or so. Just can't risk really hard launches at this track because the tires will just break loose.

I originally had the converter set up for my turbo (3400 stall), and sent the converter back to Mike for the upgrade to PT4000. Had to have the front hub replaced also, so the total was $200 for the upgrade. Nice converter though. Very streetable. I drive the car daily and it is very friendly o the street.

I am moving back to the mainland in June. Looking forward to running at some tracks where I can really launch hard <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I see, its a 10 second car no matter what as soon as you get to a good track...most likely high 11's on motor too...

I am currently running a JW "J" stator 10" 4500 converter which is really like a 5000...I want to lower it to a 4000 but I'm afraid it will really flash to like 4500 and thats on motor, I do want to put the F1 kit on over the summer...my friend said I should go with a 3600 stall...

What do you think?

Sounds about right. I may be selling some of my TNT kit when I get back to the mainland. I want to go with a direct port set up. I won't be selling everything, but most of what you will need.
