True. I forget what a stock engine bay looks like anymore.

Got a phone call from a buddy who's truck I did some tuning on that asked if I would scan his truck since he just got a check engine light on. So I got my lap top and HP tuners stuff out and downloaded my logs from last week and the track to take a look at them while I waited for him to show up. I started looking at my log from my 10.404@134.5mph pass. And I see this dip in my graphs where my MAP readings drop in about the middle of 4th gear. Start looking a little closer and see that my TPS readings dropped to 59%. And I start thinking back. The car was skating towards the middle of the track in 4th and I was correcting for it and I must have lifted some while trying to correct the car. I am sooooo Pissed. That probably would have been a 10.3x pass.


But anyway fixed my buddies truck and started taking my trans apart. Found that I broke 2 of the 3 3-4 syncor keys. That is why it wouldn't go in 3rd and got stuck in 4th.

Still need to pull the rest of the trans apart and look things over but it appears that it might not be that bad after all. should be back up and running in 2-3 weeks. gonna work on some weight reduction and clean up some wiring clutter while things are apart.

Hope to be back in action making some sub 10.3-10.2 passes soon
time for some billet keys, when i pulled mine apart i had a bent 3rd/4th shift fork too, good time to upgrade to carbon blockers and steel forks. Theres a TSB for the earlier T56s on having a bad 3rd/4th fork.
