There was no point to my thread other than to give you ****
I was talking about not being able to take the 60e off the trans jack.

Thats what a trans jack is for, and taking those damn things apart is a PITA. When you did your trans swap did you do the pump rub fix?

Nothin special but here is how the racepak looks

Top left is the fuel level, bottom left will be water temp on one display and trans temp on another, center will be oil pressure and lower right is odometer and trip. The sweep bar will be rpm on one display and mph on another and visa versa. As of right now it doesn't really do anything special except look cool lol. But with my future plans it will be very beneficial

I like how you used the stock cluster. Seems very cool. Can you hook a wide band to one? What's the price on it? And I thought they had a harness that plugs in port and no need to hook anything else up

They make an obd2 adapter but its an additional 2-$300. I probably won't be utilizing that system much longer so there wasn't any need for me to buy it. You can connect a wideband to it and display on the dash through racepaks vnet system. Its about $350 I believe. Their other sensors that go with the system are $250. I plan to get a nitrous pressure gauge, fuel pressure(for nitrous side), pan vacuum and wideband. Pretty good chunk of change so it will be awhile before I have them all

This setup I got is the udxsr and comes with water temp sensors, oil pressure, oil temp and displays mph, rpm, odometer, trip, turn signals, bright lite indicator, warning light for oil pressure, water temp and two other programable signals. Also has an output for a shiftlite. It was $725 shipped to my door

Everything about this transmission is badass. I have not hooked up the lock up yet. I'll try to get it done this week sometime

Well, I'm officially in love with my truck all over again lol

Finally got to make some passes with the new setup this weekend. It's A LOT tamer in low gear with the 80 than it used to be with the 60e...Means I can hit it with more nitrous I've put a couple hundred miles on the combo now and made 4 solid passes this weekend and I'm very excited about what I think we'll be able to do with the truck now

A couple vids from this weekend
In my first race against the crew cab, I left on motor and about 100' out turned the nitrous on...Unfortunately, I forgot to open my bottle :-/

Left on motor and turned the nitrous on about 100' out

Finally left on the bottle

On my last race, I turned the controller up and left on more. Very happy with it
