    Last run on the new motor and she went 11:95 @ 114.25 as the main bearing melted down. I spent the first half of the summer working out engine issues.

    When I got that done the ponies came alive and I lunched a converter once and then rolled the sprags over in the TH400 transmissions. The new tranny TH400 will be out of the shop next week and I hope this one holds together if the Michigan weather holds I might get another opportunity for TT. They talked me into a manual shift valve body and 4L80 sprag set, fun to drive but I would prefer a govenor shift when racing.

    The way the car feels when I broke the tranny mid to low 11's are very close. I will post ET if I get to run again this year.

    No bottle all throttle!

    Gee how lucky can you get! I wish mine had come with a turbo hood I had to pay $250 for one.

    I thought you might like to see the under side of a finished turbo hood.
