Default Well the built 65e is on its way out time for the 80e swap:(

I was hoping it was going to be laonger than this but it is already slipping on the WOT 2-3 shift maybe it wont do it without all the **** I had in my truck and the little trailer with my bike on it but either way it tell s me that with the nitrous it isnt going to work. I cant decide whether to go with a built FLT unit, rock on or get a local guy to build it with a few choice parts. He offers a 25 pass warranty on the trans he builds the FLT unti seems too pricey for me right now with the added cost of the conversion stuff too. I really like a warranty though. A local trans place called JAG in San Antonio does performance transmissions do any of you TX guys know about them or ahve any feedback on them?

I thought he was a sponsor on tech or maybe here at one time? He has a good rep from what I recall. I actually talked to the owner once when I was shopping. You have a PM.

Did your converter start locking like its supposed to? Glad you made it back with no major problems.

I knew it wouldnt be long before you broke something, but I didnt expect you to break something before you even got home.

Curt no the converter NEVER locked. I have been trying to get ahold of Allen but he hasnt called me back yet. I know he is a busy man but hell I talked to him Friday night and told him I would need a retune this week. I need to get it done ASAP so the damn thing isnt SUCKING down the gas. Im not even going to bother getting it dynoed or running it on the track.
