Well drove my car for the first time today with the 80 and factory stall just to make sure everything is good. Everything seemed fine except the speedo is way off. Feel weird getting in my car and not shifting. Everything is working out really good so far. The hard work from Kris and I hopefully will pay off for us. We will see Saturday night. Will have more pics up soon.

Here is a couple more pics




Here is where you have to notch the trans tunnel for the 4L80 trans control plug.



these are special fittings for the trans lines.
the back plug needs this long shank for lubrication

Whats Funny is that I live in Northeast Arkansas (Paragould), and I am in the process of buying a 3400 Yank and Spohn Top Gun Driveshaft in the next week or so for my 4L80E conversion.
Let me know how you guys like that Converter, and what Driveshaft are you guys using??
You guys wouldn't mind coming down when I do mine would ya, lol I have a lift at the house so it shouldn't take along?? Controlling mine with a TCI 4L80E controller and being tuned by Ed Wright. Expecting about 700RWHP with the Procharger and I have a Nitro Daves nitrous plate that we may through in the mix.

Whats up with the tracks down there in Little Rock?

BTW where did you order the converter from, YANK??

The last jet boat I had would suck the beer right out of the bottle. I saw Jason's boat, looks awesome.


good luck.

good luck.
He told me he ran into ya'll at the lake.

Drinking on the lake all day is all most as much fun as standing around in hot staging lanes all night.

Maybe I'll have my turd back up and going in time to catch a few EFI races next season.

After alot of help from Rhino79, the transmission tune is getting close. Things were looking like we wouldn't be able to make the shootout, but now I think the SS will be there.
