also, I think I've changed my mind about the 4l80e and have decided to run a T400. I think I've been talked into using Rossler and maybe get Chris to build me a converter for it.

I haven't gotten a lot of responses about the fuel system other than switching to bigger injectors. Should I be concerned with the single 4303 on gas? With the bigger injectors I can lower the base fuel press so that should help some right? as I've heard this pump falls off pretty hard when using the stock base of 58psi. If I run a base of around 40, with a 1:1 reg, at boost press will I get out of the flow range of this thing? If 30 psi that would still be near 70 psi, and I'm not sure it would do it.

Rossler th400 is the way to go. I have been running that in my truck for 2 years, street and strip. I do suggest a couple upgrades though. Billet input shaft and hd36 element sprag with aluminum drum. With the power you are going to be making and the weight of the truck it will keep the th400 together.

Its been a long process but I can't wait to see a F2 truck rippen up the track.

The rear housing was originally built to test a leafspring/torque arm setup that I came up with. The bracing was for the torque arm mount. I got it 60'ing good enough without the torque arm that I never got around to testing it. I might be planning another build that I'll get to test it on though.

Wiring harness's are my thing...Thanks for the comments

Are you going to street drive this thing at all?

Even if you are I would for sure look into a glide.

Your never going to get that truck off the line with procharger and the first gear of a TH400.

This thing is still in the process of being finished and you already are planning another build.

It'll be a street version of this truck, but a 2012-2013 model. Basically a mid-10 sec driver.
