• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Went to track. The good, the bad and the horrible.

Yeah that 60ft is pretty good for the stall, i bet when the tranny and stall get rebuilt it will do better tho !

What are your rpms at when it shifts ?

I would.have to look at my scans for my shifts.

Well this time I'm going to buy a new TC. Not supposedly a new one. LOL
 


the 3000 stall converter will be good for much better than 1.7 60s... Its been known to go down to the 1.4 range. If you have the traction you should be able to hold ~15psi on the converter with the ghetto 3800 antilag.

On leveling compared to my old turbo GTP would suggest about 445whp (maybe a tad more as I inched the boost up a bit on octane booster post dyno), I was trapping 123 (11.4 et 1.85 60) with more weight (stock fully loaded everything with subs in the trunk on 16 inch radials) on 17psi/93 octane. I never went to the track when I was running 19psi on 93 octane but it made 505whp.

I hope your trans issue is simple! I am expecting to see a broken chain/IS at this point though.

Well i think I would be the first to break a GM 1" chain if it is the chain. My IS is a 300m. I was having TC issues before the track so I'm hoping its that.

So this morning this ass post a comment on my 11.06 YouTube video. He pretty much said, it was stupid to stand so close to a car at the track. Something can fly up and hit you. So someone puts up a vid on YouTube and this guy comments on how the vid was taken? He doesn't know where my friend was standing. He could have been zooming in. I deleted the comment.

Eh, YT is full of fail.

I had random and negative comments too, shockingly, I never replied. Not even to VerzGTP
 
There will always be someone who has something stupid to say

Anyways yeah buying a "used" converter is really tricky, junk ones will take out your whole tranny (dont ask me how i know :th_eyesrolling:)

Obviously, you didn't- Your hetero street cred vanished with the non pressurized Cobalt... Not to mention, buying a second one.

Faster than a Chevy Crust :)

What if I bought a snailed third one?

Redemption?

Meh.

I have yet to see a TC melt to the point i stopped working completely. The 300m input has been broken before but it usually explodes and sends a torrent of fluid out of the bell housing.

Well I didn't hear any noise at all when it happened. When I shift into gears now, no noise. A local member here had a TC go on him having no gears so I'm gonna hope its the TC.
 
Anybody ever thought about bringing the old school thrasher tourqe arms back? ....for those who don't remember they had welded points on the lca and body connected by a rod to help launch

I just placed an order with Dave at TEP for a custom Precision TC. Even if the problem isn't the TC at least I know that is one less thing to worry about.
