I was fortunate enough to have the track photog get a video of the second t-brake pass I made the other night. This pass was a lot softer for some reason than the first one. The first one really yanked the wheels. From what I see the launch looks pretty good. Like I said before though. There is an issue with the converter as the car is .25 slower since this converter went in. I still have to deal with that. Anyway enjoy the vid.

Looks pretty good to me Chris. Your missing et should be easy to find since it only took 1 change to lose it.

between that and rebuilding the trans and adding the dana. It has got to be the spragless converter

Dan, yeah it's getting close. Soon. Just don't have the extra money right now.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...long story but. I didn't know who made my converter. I called every one from west coast to east coast based on what they guy I bought it from told me. I disparately wanted to send it back to whom ever made it because it worked so well, except it needed a little more flash. Plus when I had my debacle with the trans/rear/converter I needed to send it off and have it checked anyway. I decided to send it to a company here in Fl to have him take a look. He checked it out and said there was nothing wrong with it and that it was a quality piece who's ever it was. He offered to weld it back up and send it back no charge. I should have stopped there. But I wanted more flash. I let myself get talked into (not his fault, mine!) going spragless. That's what they specialize in. They are extremely reputable and have very good customer service. It's been back after Valdosta to get tweaked but it's still is too slow. When I got it back the first time I ended up finding out who originally made it. (JW, I guess I forgot to call them). I was kicking myself in the rump after that, needless to say. Anyway, the ball is in his court right now as to what to do. If I had my way (waiting to see what he wants to do) I will send it back to JW and get it done right.
