Default 7.82 @ 178mph

Went out to try a new tighter converter today.
Looks like the tranny is letting go, slipping pretty bad in the upper rpms.

Anyway here is what slip looked like ....

1.19
3.36
5.08 @ 145.90
6.56
7.82 @ 178.35

Thank you to all the companies and individuals that helped us this year !

Thanks everyone, not really what we were looking for but its a new best 1/4 mile time none the less.

I could tell something wasnt right in the car and you can see the tranny slip on the graph.
Even the numbers on the timeslip dont add up.
1.19 60' and 145+mph in the 1/8th should be a mid to low 4.9 pass.
Looks like in the upper rpm it was slipping bad and when I shifted it started pulling again, then slipping top of high gear also.

Not many changes for next year, just hope to get out early and race the whole season.
I think that will help us more than any big changes we could make.

Good job guys, at your power level a slipping tranny is nothing like a slipping tranny in a 600-700 car. I'm sure it's hurting you guys even more...

The car will go 60s, I know it! Get the tranny fixed, good prepped track and it happening!

145mph in the 1/8th is flying!! Just from looking at your 1/8 mile times vs Smith's it seems his are in the .9X more vs your .0X range more, whats the difference, 60ft, more aggressive tune, better tracks, car weight? I have never ran at your et so I dont know what it takes to change a .05 or a .10. So who and when do you think will break 200mph in the 1/4 with a nitrous LSX f body?

The real difference is Smith has his gear/tire/convertor/tune working.His car works so much better than ours. We made some progress this year and were closing the gap i think we just ran out of time. We tend to run on the same day/track so thats not it . HEs still a good year ahead of us on data with a big hp setup. we would be estatic to be where he is right now.
