I'm glad you pointed that out, I was wondering......

Holy, nice!

[SPANISH-RICE]

Great numbers!

[fdfreak]

very nice. I saw you driving it around last night. I was in the blue fd next to you on main.

[zbrown]

hey what did this do today?!?

this thing is pimp, hope it ran well granted it isn't setup for drag

[Joel]

I rolled out there for a little while. People were saying 11.6.

[weshole]

11.3 with alien driving.

[bubba]

definitely some nice passes this weekend..

11.34, 11.44 and 11.52 were the 3 best ET's. The trans will not shift @ high rpm into 3rd gear and i've had 2 trans do the same thing so currently one is tore apart on the bench to see what may be the root of the issue. At high rpm it either goes into 3rd gear and free revs as if the gear is non existant or it goes into the 3rd gear gate but somehow manages to use the 5th gear. You can pull it back out and reput it into 3rd gear and its fine, turns out it'll run 11.5-11.60's all day doing such... Short shifting 3rd around 6k rpm kevin netted the 11.34.

1.586, 1.589, 1.624 were 3 best 60' unfortunatly none of those connected w/ 3rd gear. Fast pass was a 1.667 60'. Throughout the day the track got worse and couldnt better 1.7's

[Grr]

dude that thing is awesome.
that first pass on slicks reminded me of when zac did the same thing, it was sweet

dude that is fucking baller no lie! and guys say the 7" rear can't take any abuse!

any way to get a TII tranny behind your motor?

seriously that this is awesome, gives me happy pants

any vids?

[PSI2HI]

Here's the 3rd gear graph over rpm. Reving to 7500, not sure exactly why he stopped 3rd gear @ 7k.

I have seen a guy swap the TII trans in w/ a hackjob adaptor plate setup. Most the road race guys use the 6spd as the gearing there is not important. If i continued to try drag race the 6spd simply would not work. There is a gearset out for the 5spd that would solve the issue of ripping the gears apart, but right now my issue is trying to find what causes the trans issue w/ high rpm 3rd as i got 2 trans doing the same thing.

[aliengotpsi]

I would say this car is a 10 sec car no problem once the 3rd gear shifting is sorted out.

60 foot should be low 1.5's easy on a well preped track.

[00Ws6TransAm]

Wow, great build. I look forward to seeing this at sabin this year.

[zbrown]

yeah man this thing is one of my favorites!
