not in that video... rpm drops as soon as he lets off. Maybe at a higher speed if he kept his foot in it...

Yeah, I had Gilbert build it to the same spec. Converter is the SC3000 multi disc.

Man that video had me wondering how you launched so hard and had perfect traction. and then i realized smokeshow was AWD. It's not even april 1st yet and i got fooled. those trannys i have heard good things about. won't be a problem for anyone.
