Default few runs since 6.0/80e swap

Well I went to to the track this evening and made a few passes since I swapped out my stock 5.3/stalled 60e for a lq4 isky tripple 12 cam and stock 80e and converter. I honesty thought I would be the same if now slower than my old combo because of the 80e and its heavy *** stock converter. Well I was happy to say I dropped about 3 tenths still! Best with 5.3 was 14.39 and tonight 5 minutes after pulling in the gate I pulled a 14.01 at 98.6! This is Prolly the last time ill run it till I get my kb turbo 76mm kit. What yall think?

Yeah Chris I'm still in shock that you selling your truck.. but life goes on and I know how it is. I'm hoping to get my truck back out to Hub city and see if I slowed down since I put my new built 80e and circle d.. at least you not selling local and we won't have to see the lownslo...

But to the op... I am still scared the 80e trans would slow me down a lot... but looking at those times it looks like that 6.0 made up for the loss and then some lol. That 76mm should do well on that 6.0.. I went 76 as well since I have a built 6.0 ready to go just to lazy to swap it lol plus the 5.3 is huntin pretty good still.
