back to topic...
A Th350 would not be the right tranny to put in that truck. The 80e robs a little to much power for what the truck is probably making and I would say that a well built 60e, like the ones offered by our site sponsor, FLT, would be a good choice. That along with a 3000 rpm converter and he should a have it running well into the 13's, mabye high 12's with slicks.

I guess you're going to say I can't trap 118mph @ 12.06 with a 5.0 Fox body either are you?

not meaning to beat a dead horse...but how many slips do you have showing that trap speed on a high 14 second run? maybe the trap threw out a screwed up number. ive seen it happen before.

. How does that happen? What would make it givwe me the wrong info? The one guy that told me that, said he thought it was my wheels. WTF? What do my wheels have to do with that?
I'll go G-Tech it Friday night and see what the GTech says. But I'll be back to the track, the first weekend in April (after a coupls of more mods) and I'll see what it says then.
The thing that bothers me about this situation.....is now I have a obnoxious grinding sound in the rear diff. I pretty much know what that is. But it didn't start that unitl a couple of days after racing it.
I'll keep you posted...
should be into the 118-121 range after my 11psi gets strapped on along with the ported heads, and fresh rebuild
