Erics car!!!!!!!!

[1SLO5.0]

We buttoned her up tonight and test drove it. First thing we noticed was it revs way quicker with the automatic. Much more responsive than the 5 speed. I am willing to bet this car will 60ft better with the C4. Even without the transbrake it launches hard. It shifts hard and fast. I am very happy with it. I need to adjust the bands but not sure how to. We had a little mishap of the back tires locking up on our road trip. I am thinking that has something to do with the band adjustment. I torqued them to 10 ft lbs and backed them off 3/4 turn like I have read in books and on the internet. Set like that you could not turn the rear tires by hand or push the car. So I backed them off a bit so you can turn the tires by hand. The car is still hard to push though. I am thinking that this caused the tires to lock up on our cruise. It only did it once. :confused: Other than that the car runs awesome with the new transmission. :shft:

Transbrakes RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rockon1:

You will have to drive this car so you can see what a transbrake is like. I will guarantee that you will be tearing your car apart after you drive it!!!!!
All I have to say is 5 speeds are for rookies!!!!!!!

I had doubts about an automatic because I love 5 speeds, but automatics is where its at. :bna

Hey, I just bought a tremec. I guess I don't know what I'm doing.:D For racing I wouldn't mind an auto, but a 5 speed is more fun on the street, and it's a street car, so I need my overdrive.:spinem:

HAHAHA Mike............That is what Eric said too (a 5 speed is more fun on the street). Drive an automatic car with a good converter and a transbrake manual valve body. You will change your mind about automatics not being fun. I do like T5s though. I love making runs down curvy country roads pounding gears and carving corners.

Cool so when are you guys going to try it out with the NOS???

[1SLO5.0]

soon........we need to put the trans cooler somewhere else because the transmission is running too hot, around 200 degrees. The transcooler isn't getting enough airflow. The stall is a bit on the low side but it will work for now. On the transbrake in only stalls about 2900-3000 rpm. It needs to be in the 4500 rpm range.
