Default purple converter is thick




it is a 10.5" PI tripple disk and weighs 40lb's empty. dont like the color so much i hope it performs.

i got the tranny in the back of the truck but the dang thing is heavy. i dont think i want to set it on the floor and then slide it under my truck and then get it up onto a tranny jack by my self so i have to wait for some help . this is very exciting.

there is a pic of the yank next to the stock unit. the yank weighed 35lbs and the stock was 65lb's. 5lb's more for the PI doesn't seem too bad.

nice list of mods, that thing should run hard. you going to up the boost on the radix. i have always wanted to see how much hp can be made with a stroker motor and a radix spun to the limit.

Looks good! Guess they need a little extra room for the 3 discs.

Lets see...New trans and converter, bigger heat exchanger, bigger cutout, cold air intake, and no a/c.

When's it going to the track?
