New Torque Converter!

82 GT · 05-03-2006, 11:04 PM

Yep, the new converter works great!! The "seat of pants" meter is pegged!! It picks up rpms like there is no tomorrow!!
I'm hoping it will knock .2 off my '60 times and about .4 or .5 off my ET
I also ditched the old 750 vacuum secondary and bought a 750dp.
Add all this to my sumped tank with Holley blue pump and -8AN fuel line that I did last fall and this beast should burn up the drag strip!
With the luck I have though, the SOB will probably run 2 seconds slower!
I doubt it though because it feels like an entire different beast!

Jester , will your beast be racing this year? Either I'll have to make a trip out there this summer or you'll have to come out this way......or both! We should start planning something.....

If all goes well, but I have to be honest it's not looking good right now. WAAAAY too many irons in the fire right now, started a new biz and been working really hard on that.

Collecting parts for the Hellraiser though, so I'm still hopeful for late summer.
