I've always loved your car! when ever I make it to NED(next year some time) hopefully I can make it up there some time when your going, I'd love to see that beast run in person, congrats on the new PB!

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.

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....

I have the biggest stacked plate design cooler that B&M makes, its the 70274 IIRC. The trans never really gets over 180.
I have a Yank converter shell that has been custom built to my needs.
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
