      • Jim, I live in a subdivision just on the edge of town. Figure I put up with all these pricks mowing @ 7am on Saturday's so they can listen to my exhaust

        Sucks about your converter - mine feels better already. Seems to flash higher and but is tighter driving around. But we'll see on Sunday.

        Debating which jets to start with....probably make a pass on 100 then immediately go 150 make a couple hits. If all is well I'll swap the bottle/plugs pull some timing and go 200

              Lol - 200 is as far as I'll push it on pump gas. Next year if I have a standalone fuel system and with some octane in it, I might venture further.

                That nitrous outlet standalone is a pretty sweet looking deal. Put some c16 in it and push that stock bottom end

                How is ptc on there restall policy? I have a feeling fti is gonna screw me cause my car has sat for a year cause money issues and not restall it. I havent ran it but I think its gonna be to high. Might go back to ptc if they don't work with me

                • PTC has a 1 month restall policy - but the are pretty laid back about it. I had mine 2 months and they said if it doesn't work this time, they'll do it again for free - if I'm willing to pull it again. If I wait until spring it's $75.

                  If it works out as planned - i'll be out of gear on a 150 anyways

                  • Well - trans still overheated on a 50* day. 220 degrees - cooked the fluid pretty good.

                    It got hot enough to fall over to the hot wot shift tables

                    Cooler has a fan on it - and it didn't make any difference.

                    Lines aren't long enough to front mount the cooler.

                    Converter worked better.

                    Time to put it storage for the winter and save my pennies for a clutch. The t56 needs at minimum a input bearing. I'd like to faceplate it, but I don't know if I'll have the cash.

                      • Personally I think the trans is slipping in high gear. It's fine for a 100 shot, but the 150 shot only picked up 1 mph in the 1/4. It was up almost 1.5 in the 1/8.

                        Ricky if you are serious - we might be able to work something out.

                        I'm 99% sure I can de-pin the harness.

                        So I've got everything you'd need - minus the trans. I'm sure I cooked the clutches.

                        Shoot me a pm.

                        • Sorry to see your having problems Jermey. 220 degrees shouldn't be enough to make the fluid smell at all. Sounds like you have something going on inside of that trans for sure.

                          • Shit happens Mike - I just think I'm asking to much out this junkyard trans.

                            On the motor it was fine, 100 it was fine - 150 = it was pissed off.

                              • Surprised you are having issues with it, even as a stock 80e. What do you mean by slipping in "high gear?" you should only be hitting 3rd in the quarter right? And during a shift or in the gear?
