Still 6 point. The engine sounded great and it pulled hard, but it was not terribly exciting. This car is just easy down the track. Point it and go.

Hope to get this trans in once we get better weather, but then I'll probably not have time due to work

Anywho....Congrats again. That's nothing to sneeze at.

The 4L80 converter is not quite the way I want it. It is lazy off of the transbrake. If they can get it like my old TH200 converter, the car will pick up 2 tenths for sure. Throw in some more tuning and better weather and who knows.
