with blower or nitrous you don't need any highr than that. That's the one yank recomeended. I am expecting 1.40's 60ft times with it.

once we put the trans-brake in, we should be able to come off the line with 700ft lbs of torque at full boost. This means we may have to cut a hole in the floor so Shane can see his way down track. LOL

Today (Sunday) Shane and I were able to get a few other things done on the car. We wired the new 4L80 harness to the ECM, wired the clutch switch to the P/N switch, wired the reverse lights to the gear selector switch, custom mounted the electric cut out switch in the dash panel and ran the wires, notched the trans tunnel for clearance for the 4L80 trans plug, and put every thing back together inside the car. right now the trans is back out of the car so we could do the above.

Sorry guys we did not take any pics today.

Where the shift cable attaches to the trans, you want need that black box with the female connector ends. Theres nothing you'll have that plugs into to it so you could take it off and junk it.

That is the Park/Neutral Safety Switch from the Truck that it came out of. I believe the F-bodies have it next to the Shift Console. I know the LT1's do, don't know if they moved it on your guy's LS1 Cars.

That is true, I forgot he was going from a m6 so he doesnt have the switch already.

we are not using this flywheel (for stock 4L80 converter).
its on there just for mock up.
we are using a different flywheel for the yank converter that has a smaller 4L60 bolt pattern.
converter won't be here till Thursday.

i have the short gear selector shaft on my 80 and do not have that big ol box

just run the clutch wires to the switch on the shifter and thats it. def. dont need whatever that thing is.

curious what record is being gone after with this car?
and were you saying this car ran consistent 9.0's w/ 6 speed?

i have a yank 3000 and it is too tight but has great street manners, will look for 3600 or so on the restall.

we are running the selector switch to run reverse lights and neutral safety. we could of done this at the shifter but had the selector switch and wiring so we are using it. looks factory and everything works great.


We run a EFI class at our local 1000ft track. Record is 8.16 @ 126 mph.
car ran 9.0 @ 122mph with the M6

We are still waiting on the yank PYE 3400.
I thought the 3000 would be to tight.
