I could pull it out and drive it over to Chris for a restall but I'm too lazy and don't want to get under the truck anytime soon
I've already talked it through with him. 3B is what I want. I don't have 6L torque to launch with.

What stall speed does he rate the 3b at?

What rear gears do you have?

Right now I have 3.42s back in it. My 60' is the same as it was with 4.10 since I can build a lot more boost on the line.

Not sure what he rates it at. I told him I want it around 3500rpm on the footbrake and he said that is very difficult with the 4.8L but would do some custom work to make it happen. Obviously a trans brake would be ideal with such a small engine so I might go that route when I open my 80e.

Forgot to mention that trans fluid temp was *245 at the end of the track on my only run. So it's building a **** ton of heat. I think Dave at yank only rates this converter to 600hp so I really need a change

Yea it was the first one of the season. Be glad you didn't come out. I've been sitting in line for 2 and half hours waiting for my lane to move. Literally been in park with the engine off waiting to run a second time. It's been a joke.
