Thread: Went to track. The good, the bad and the horrible.

Nice runs that thing has got to be a riot ! good luck with the tranny, what size converter were you running anyways?

Awesome runs man!

Glad to see your car still in action...was one of the first GP's I loved when I got into the scene.

THX!

It is. It pins you back in the seat and slightly takes your breath away. I love it.

It's a 245 3K stall

Yeah that 60ft is pretty good for the stall, i bet when the tranny and stall get rebuilt it will do better tho !

What are your rpms at when it shifts ?

I would.have to look at my scans for my shifts.

Well this time I'm going to buy a new TC. Not supposedly a new one. LOL

Sweet car man! Sorry to hear about the mirror. Now you can make turn signal mirrors for it.

I already had the muth signal mirrors. Another reason why I'm most pissed about mirror.

Awesome runs.

Car sounds amazing.

Sucks about the Trans and the Mirror.

You'll hit 10's no problem.

Well i think I would be the first to break a GM 1" chain if it is the chain. My IS is a 300m. I was having TC issues before the track so I'm hoping its that.

Well I didn't hear any noise at all when it happened. When I shift into gears now, no noise. A local member here had a TC go on him having no gears so I'm gonna hope its the TC.

So this morning this ass post a comment on my 11.06 YouTube video. He pretty much said, it was stupid to stand so close to a car at the track. Something can fly up and hit you. So someone puts up a vid on YouTube and this guy comments on how the vid was taken? He doesn't know where my friend was standing. He could have been zooming in. I deleted the comment.

Eh, YT is full of fail.

I had random and negative comments too, shockingly, I never replied. Not even to VerzGTP

There will always be someone who has something stupid to say

Anyways yeah buying a "used" converter is really tricky, junk ones will take out your whole tranny (dont ask me how i know )

Well I was old the TC was a new one and never ran. When installing it we were ale to see it wasn't new.

I won't ask. LOL

I just placed an order with Dave at TEP for a custom Precision TC. Even if the problem isn't the TC at least I know that is one less thing to worry about.
