When using an Aluminum drum on your BB 727 torque flite?
Could i need an adjustment on my bands after 24 passes?

Mine didn't take much @ 25 passes in a 9 sec car, but I checked it

I bought a transmission from John at CRT, back in 2004 or 2005. I adjusted mine after about 20 to 25 runs. Adjustment barely changed. I did change my fluid and filter every 25 to 35 runs. I checked band adjustment every time I changed the fluid and filter. It never changed much after the 1st time. After 2 years, the tranny was freshened up by John at CRT.
I ran it for 4 or 5 more years with the aluminum drum. Last year I had it rebuilt, and we installed A steel billet drum. It runs the same et's and m.p.h. But I don't have to change the fluid and filter as often, or adjust the bands . I changed the fluid once this year, when I tried a different converter.

About 25 runs or so on ours also. The band takes a beating when it shifts early due to tire spin. Car is heavy and runs 7.80's. Dirties the fluid fairly quick. I R&R the tranny after about 100 runs. If we had it to do over again, we would have used the steel A&A drum instead of their aluminum one. Their ultra sprag and lightened sun shell is a must. We have billet shafts, straight cut 2.10 planets and all the other stuff. When we run 8.50's, we broke a regular bolt in sprag and it was a mess. The ultra sprag and light sun shell for us was a must.
I would check it after 25 runs and write down how much adjustment it took and do it agian after 25 runs and see how much wear has occurred. 
I have it sitting on the bench so I will get it apart and get it fixed, it will end up in my new race car next year, more to come
