liberty equalizer?? is that with straight cut gears? is that something you can do and if so, what is the cost?

Yes the equalizer does have straight cut gears as the have the strongest tooth design. The closest thing I can do to the equalizer is faceplating your t56. I have the faceplating in my tranny and I love it. Powershifting is no longer a problem, and it doesn't break stuff anymore. You would have to call us on monday for the price of faceplating. The equalizer starts at $6000 for the tranny then you have the clutch and bellhousing not cheap at all. There is a guy on the board that has one in his car.

I might spray it one of these days ,but I'm really a motor guy I 'm shooting for some 9.50's N/A AT 3451 pds
I just now noticed this... I really would like to at least for a picture or video, but i couldnt resist i would end up putting 150+ shot on there and probley messing up a trans. What I cant understand is my car is about 300lbs lighter than yours and you trap 142+ and i usually trap 137-140

ok i am at 3100 and my best is a 9.82 @ 138.7 and we basically have the same set up and both cut 1.3 shorts.

I think you have more compression and a sheetmetal intake i think your have ported 243's where i have 241's and i have quiet exhaust.... but i still should be a little faster on the top side?

And if you figure someway to get a flawless clutch set up please share... I assume you have an adj master cyld. and the drill mod done to the hyd. line?

Im sure you guys have already heard the word that the Underground Racing recently broke the 6 speed record running a 7.98 @ 183. With their Twin Turbo Viper. Now is this the no **** real deal record for all 6 speeds? What record class would this fall under or is this the fastest 6 speed period? Either way that is freaking smoking and some nice shifting. Here is the link to the claimed record.

Yes this is the record for the fastest 6 speed period. Hefner held it for about 6 months with there viper. There are so many ways you can look at the record. Fastest N/A 6 speed, fastest 6 speed period and so on.
