Nice video. I hope mine ends up that quiet. What's the sloppy mechanics thoughts on anti-balloon plates. I heard in the video that you are running a stock convertor. I picked up a TH400 with a B&M holeshot convertor and was deciding if I was going to use it or send it off and have ant-balloon plates installed and restalled.

Thanks for the commonly bought items thread. I have used it like a personal shopping list.

its doing really good right now, 10lbs of boost 11.5 air fuel and 16deg of timing feels pretty raunchy.

i have a boost controller and boost gauge on the way so i can turn it up.
70f inlet temps tonight were pretty nice!

car weighs 3700 with a completely full tank and without me in it.

a plated 400 converter will work, you will know right away, havent had good luck with B&M converters but some cheaper ones yes,

you will know if its working in high gear and you roll 15lbs, if it pushes the converter to the moon ehh lol

i was having a bunch of trouble with it, and this time around i just didnt have the patience for it, i had a psi harness and a stock computer and couldnt get my trans to work with the new micro TCU so i was like, well what if i am wasting my time and my trans really doesnt work.

threw in the stock ecu and swap harness, licensed and i was driving that night, and i dont feel like taking it all out to test it again haha i hope you understand.

im gunna get the stuff back to mike for him to work on all of it, i just didnt feel like messing with it anymore.

just wanted to drive this pig
