I think the tranny might be going to get a refresh at FLT this summer.

Here is the vid for the lightning. I dont think the camera man knew what was going on but watch for the big smokeshow at the end.

Here is the bullitt spinning 1st and halfway into second then shutting it down around the 1/8th rolling a 12.62 @100

Exact same thing going on here. It's not that you're cam is 'too big'. The workable power range has been moved too far up for your converter size to do any good. Put a 3600-4000 in there and you'll cut 1.7s all day w/ traction. I think your roughly ETing 13.5s as it sits. Tuning alone would drop you in the lower 13s. Converter swap will put you in the 12s. Then do all of that other BS you metioned... belts, weight redux. But you know this.

 

Yup. Im starting to see light at the end of this long dark tunnel! Maybe i shook the **** luck. [knocks on wood]

 

was that redblitz over at bvsb.com?

 

yessir. Thats Rusty. We think he threw a rod. He couldnt check his oil because the dipstick tube wouldnt come out after that run. Something must have whacked the crap out of it.

 

i think ill go call him out now

 

Beau has giving the bad luck to my truck. Right Beau?

 

not on purpose. How is it going with that? Give me a call tomorrow afternoon and we will get it up and running. I would today but i have a test at 12:40 tomorrow. Anytime after 1:30, im good to go! Then we have to pull Rudd ******* motor to replace the oil pump.

 

I haven't even been over there. I will be there around 6 tomorrow.

 

looked like you gave the lightning a run...

so what did you run in the 1/8??
