Looks nice Paul. Is there any way to download the clips from there? Is that flounder at the end of the second clip?

I would of won if I could of found the transbrake button. I just relocated it to the shifter handle. It was in the SOS cupholder pod, Very bad place to put it. Now I have it right on the shifter. I have a few more. Ill post one up now.

Your gonna love it. Its alot more streetable than I thought it would be. Did you go with the street terminator plus? The one rated at 1000hp. Im goin back on Sunday to the track, with 14psi in the tires this time. Its the season finale of 12.0, 10.0, 8.50 and quick 8s indexes. So basically the track will be as prepped as its going to get.

Do you miss the 5spd and how is the fun factor with the auto.
I need the auto but i will miss the stick

[againstallodds1]

no regrets at all. I think its just as fun.

Dam,car not ready,had some minor set backs.I did drive it,the horsepower dropped by 45 RWHP,belive it,we did before & after tests.We our going to re-tune the car.It runs very strong,shifting it is cool & fast as hell,streetability is very good,i did not drive it for long 5 min.The shifter is way cool,like nothing i have shifted before,when you salp the stick its like you just found another 100 HP,dropping you back to the ultimate torque band range.I did not use the transbreak it is on the stock tires.Yes i got the terminator + rated for 1000 BHP with a guarantee.I may not get to the track before they close for the year,weather is getting cold,wet snow & rain tonight,but will warm up next week.I will post more info when i get the car back next week.

Forget dyno numbers once you have the 4r70 - they don't mean sqaut. Sure you lost some rwhp numbers but I bet you GAINED torque numbers. You are going to see the most loss on the dyno from a non-lock-up converter but have no fear. You'll be running faster than guys with 500 rwhp with 450 rwhp...

On my set-up, I see about a whopping 90-100 less dyno rwhp than I would see with a manual cause I have no lock-up and no kickdown. But I have incredible torque curves also. Example - 586 rwhp and 689 ftq...

Remember torque wins races, rwhp looks pretty on the internet.

I flip a rocker switch to activate overdrive when necessary.

You are 100% correct.i remember when i went from 8 psi pulley to the 10 psi pulley,the RWHP only went up by 15 but the TQ went up buy 30.Its funny my car dynoed 480 RWHP on a 'dynojet',but @ Lentech on a "Mustang" dyno it dynoed 430 before the trans swap.After the trans swap without changing the tune it dynoed 386 RWHP,i did not get the TQ #s cause i started flipping out a little.The car is not done complety so i took a deep breath,test drove & was impressed,but man i want to go to a track when its done to prove all the uncertainty.I was running 11.68 ET @ 120 MPH granny shifting,this better be better.What would you guess my et's to be & MPH now ??
