If I could get Mike to give it a little wiff we would already be there. He's is out of air but I think he can make up for it with some good 60 foot times. Mine sits more than it does anything so it would be tough to blow it up :baby:
Shit stick getting into pulling. :rofl: He has never been able to set up his truck for drag racing watching he try and pull a sled should be a total hoot. :roflmao:
If he thinks he's going to break less shit pulling a sled than on a dyno he's in for a surprise.
Really? Do you honestly believe him? Remind me again how many 9 second passes have either of those 2 trucks made? The CC went 9.9 once and that SC went well under 15 9 second passes. Making that Dyno spike while in one gear gives no indication of how that transmission is doing.
:rofl: ....the nutswingers have arrived in full force. Almost time to commence with the opening ceremonies for another shit launching thread.
I'm working on the timeslip, but it's hard to prove, so I'll tell you and get the slip later.
One instance is from a local shop that pulled apart one of his transmissions, and found that the planetary gears teeth had been ground down with a grinder to make them fit together. I don't know the specifics, but heard it from their head mechanic who tore it apart.
Now more personal is a friend that had his truck built by Trent, started as a triple turbo built then went full force and did the motor, trans, etc. Since day one, it has never shifted right. It defuels between gears 1-3 like crazy. It does it worse if your at WOT (can count seconds between gears). Trent told him it's not his fault and that my friend needed a lockup box to get it to stop defueling. Installed a lockup box and the converter finally locked but the defueling because much more aggressive. Iirc he ran like an 800-900 hp tune and did 120+ in the 1/4 mile but only ran a 12.5. You can see it in more detail once I get the time slip, he picked up all his speed after the 1/8th. Before anyone says it's tuning related, he has tried everything with tuning. Shut things off in the trans that should never be shut off and it still reacts the same. we are pulling it apart this winter to see what hard part is causing it.
"I don't know the specifics" ... Aka I'm assuming
No "I don't know the specifics" as in that's all I was told. They had to rebuilt the trans in the end.
