Well rebuilt trans is hanging off the engine with a jack under the rear. Just finished attaching the Diaper around the transmission. What a PITA! Oh well it's on there. Doesn't look nearly as bad as what I was thinking.
I changed converters, after a few phone call with ART CARR I had them setup a nitrous converter since the one that I had worked well for N/A but had an extremely high slip rate. After doing the math the slip was anywhere from 16-19% CRAP! Still staying with a 9.5 converter but the stall speed with be about 500 rpms less on motor. They said once the bottle is turned on it will be a totally different car. Hopefully this trans and converter will work well!
Now I just need to get my UMI Torque arm and mount installed as well as some odds and ends and then I should be ready for testing. Can't wait to see what the new additions do for times! Maybe the end of the week it will touch the pavement again! _________________

Cool! I can't wait to see times when you get the giggley-go on the track.
BTW, if you want to put a big-ol' crew sticker on your ride for Pinks, shoot me a PM, I'll get one made and sent up to you.

I would sport the crew sticker for sure! Right now I have a pretty good size sticker on the back for my shop. But I still have plenty of advertising space  _________________
