They hold up fine if you don't drain them. Do a search in the Drag Racing Tech forum and there is a big post on them. There are cheaper options than Brallie. Look up Deka etc.

Great setup man! What kind of power are you making through the auto? Your a great example of putting things together right.

thanks!! it made 470rwhp last year with the stock intake .6 less CR and an ignition problem....that was on a locally low reading land and sea dyno with an unlocked 4000 converter and slicks.....should make well over 500 the way it sits now on a dyno jet or a mustang dyno.......i do most of my tuning in real world situations on the track.......


thanks everybody!!!

well on the search for 10.10's i just dropped another 53lbs off the nose......i finally axed the front bumper support........i swapped out the optima for a 11.5lb Braille Carbon battery and aluminum mount.....swapped out the stock overflow which was full of fluid for a 1qt csr aluminum can......and yanked all the sway bar hardware......hopefully i can get the timing back in it on launch now and really get this thing going!!! track next weekend for new times....

Only record holders have to rebuild that often. Get it RIGHT!

you too tanner...yea the color isn't bad lol

it did i played around with the suspension and got it to hook hard in bg....made a 1.401 60' on one of my passes.....so with the good air up here in new england now and the weight i just pulled and hopefully getting the timing back in the launch im hoping for 10.20's if not high 10.10's before the end of the year. We'll see......

the shootout was awesome some great people down there........next year im taking that monday outta work so i can stay and party afterwords

do you ever come down to new england and race??

Is yours a full manual vavle body? reverse pattern? I think the computer controlled is what is killing mine. 3-4 clutches just took a dump on me
sorry i didn't see ur question.............yes its a full manual valve body but no its standard pattern........im goin low tens with the stock shifter
