Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Excellent times for the first time out Mike.
I have a JG trans and it works great.I hope to see if it'll work under load this week.That sucks u couldnt back up the run.I heard Atco was HOOKING killer friday night.
Why did u remove the pump?I thought it was working well?Does Joe wanna put the billet version on instead?
Still all in all u had a good time.

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot well i took the pump off to change the gasket cause it was leaking a bit and decided to do some before and after testing with it. well i was pretty excited that i never eeven went 11's it was 10s all the way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> well im gonna drop the tranny pan and check it out in the morning, somehow i lost line pressure, it might just be an easy fix, i hope <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . i reall ywould rather get the 12 bolt and patch this tranny before goin to the t400 yah know.

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Mike do you by any chance have torque managament still on your comp. If you do that could be the reason why its going south. I have it in mine and I can feel it.
Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot i removed torque managment a long time ago, before the tranny broke the 1st time, but ill have to double check wiht ed wright to make sure he removed it this time. i lost line pressure some how so who knows ill find out when i drop the pan i guess.

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot GREAT!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
1.499 explains your fast ET at the MPH you ran. Great hookup!
I ran a 10.98@125.83 MPH with a 1.65 60' and ran consistent low 11's with about a 1.7x and 1.8x 60' on BFG Drag Radials. When I got ET Streets, I broke my rear... it's going a second time. And that's from mostly street stuff. I haven't been able to get to a good track with the stickier tires. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Mike has run my reverse cooled housing for his blower application for over 1.5 months now with great results, we agreed that running the car without the RCEWP is a must to be base lined in first to find what average time it runs with the stock water pump then change over to the RCEWP and test more with at least 9-10 back to back passes on both types but it seems that the trans is going to be our limiting factor for our R&D at this point. As for saying "he ran a good time" would be an understatement, but your compliment is well taken. Thanks!

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Joe I get a tinge of sarcasm in your post.
Again I wasnt mocking Mike in anyway .I was very happy for him and congratulated him.
Joe I would try and rent the track and test the pumps back to back on the same day and in the same air.This way u can get good data.
Good luck with the setup.Theres more in the car for sure Mike.

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Where? I gave an informative outline of what we were doing with the pumps. I don't see where I was sarcastic? The only ribbing I wrote in there was about the "good pass" I believe that places him at the #1 spot here for Blower times and #2 for FI in general so it was a ribbing not a slam on you, and thanks for being happy for him, we have worked real hard to get the combos set up right. Mike didn't even mention that he is running through a FULL exhaust system right down to the tailpipes, there isn't even a cut-out on the car and I found that pretty impressive BUT the first step here is to get a box thats going to hold. If you could, maby give Mike your trans guys phone number and I think that will help him alot. sorry if I offended you.
Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Yea u kinda gave me a shot there for saying it was a good time.I wasnt implying it wasnt a great time casue it was PERIOD.One thing u know about me Joe is if someone backs it up
I repsect them whole heartedly.
I'd still like to see a test on the same day with the pumps.I know its alot of work but that would show everyone the benefits of the pump.Hey its your baby,U do what u think is right.

Re: please move me on up to the #2 spot Cool!
I have a couple additions to make to the Boosted List. I keep the latest text file on my work computer, so I'll be adding you tomorrow. The post must be too long for the edit to see all of, so I have to maintain the list in a text file, then paste it into the editted post.
