Well guys..took the Car out to the Track today.

I think it ran pretty good..I definatley need some Suspension..but that is coming soon. It pretty much spun out of the Hole and for about the first 60ft atleast..I was fish-tailing on a couple of passes for about half-track. The Slicks were brand new, and it was cold out..so that may be some contributing factors as well.

This is the best I got..

 

sounded good merv. did u loose a trans to? u was parked right next to us. sorry about the pop when I started the car. lol i guess it had some fuel in the exhaust housing. lol

 

I heard that..lol

I lost 3rd and 4th..won't move unless it's in 2 or 1. Shifts fine between them 2, and the Fluid is Red..I'm thinkin it's something in the Valve Body..

 

sounds like you burnt the 3/4 clutch pack or the tabs broke off the input drum that hold the 3/4 clutch pack snap ring.

welcome to the world of the junk *** 4l60!

 

That's what some of us were thinking also..the Snap Ring.

I got a friend who runs the Tranny Shop here in Jville..he was out there with me. It went out on the Burn out.

 

Didnt video any of the runs?? I loved the smoke show lmao!

 

Just to let everyone know..

That 9.6 pass was with a 200 shot.

Sorry Ben, had to do it

 

Didnt they have a huge thread about The Merv having nitrous or not and was left at him not having it!?!?

 

Way to start that **** again ***..

I don't...he's just ****** around..

Matt...

 

Nice run man. Time to upgrade to FLT, dude.

 

Got ya!! Even if it was with nitrous a 9.6 pass is still a badazz run for sure!!! Need to get your title upgraded!!

 

It's not as bad as you guys think.. Fluid is still Red, and it shifts first to second fine..just no 3rd or 4th. Could possibly be a Solenoid..

 

Thats the drag that comes with racing, your bound to break something sooner or later!!

 

Curious to see what it will run in the 1/4. A 7.5 in the 1/8th usually equates to about 11.5 in the 1/4. But, if you were spraying, looks like you might of gotten an 11.2 in the 1/4. It sucks that your track stops at 1000'.

 

It picked up some good speed from the 330' mark on..it spun out of the hole and for about the first 70 ft roughly..

It's getting there..

 

You get your 60ft down in the 1.40's-1.50's and that car will pickin 'em up and put'n 'em down on the other end. With as much motor as you've got, I'd figure you should be in the high 6's in the 1/8 and mid 8's in the 1000... if you can get it on the ground.

 

Yeah, how big of a converter do you have? You definitely need some work on the chassis. Brian's (RDTA) cam and header car went 9.3s best but it also 60'd in the 1.5 range on drag radials.

 

I have a Yank SS3600 in it..I'm not goin for the fastest..just a nice street killer.

 

Still... sounds like you've got another second in there, at least

 

Hopefully...won't be too shabby for an all-motor no-spray Car.
