Looks pretty cool, Rick.

I dont think you and I will be having a "competition" this time, like we did back in '09. :hehe: Too rich for my blood....

Sorry Guys, no pics today. We've had to work for a living the last few days.

I think we're going to call it Studemax. What do you guys think?


So far I have sponsorship commitments from SoCal Diesel and Vibrant Performance. Big Thanks to these guys!!

Hoping for more on some of the stuff these guys don't handle.

Need some help finding a convertor and a converter manufacturer that will help.

Waiting for a return call from ATS.

Left 2 messages with Goerend and Suncoast and no response.


Neil Chance is out of my budget. TCI and Pro-Torque both say they can do it. I am worried about some of these being to small and overheating.

Thoughts??

What trans you going with again?? I just found a local converter guy that is amazing, he is now my go to for all my Allison builds and he is building one for the Chevelle. We will start testing the new one for the Chevelle hopefully by next week. If all goes as planned, we may not be making the switch to a lock-up style trans at all and sticking with a 400 with his converter.

D&P Products out of Sacramento Ca 9169216600, His name is Matt Brooks.

Danville has stepped up to help out on the turbos.

Thinking about using Precision Industries for the converter. Anybody dealt with them lately??

Gabe at Socal sent me some teaser pics. I'm sure these are just advertising photos but still the same stuff.

Got the Bruno back from being freshened up. They installed a bigger input shaft. Going to have to change the bellhousing now to use the convertor diameter I want to run.
