The tranny was just back to the norm with the new input shaft nothing added. The clutches were good as was the rest of the trans new seals etc. The improvement was probably from ultimate converter. Lenny had tweaked it some and it showed more top end and a good 1.42 60'. I dont think theres any more to get with the engine I have. I am happy. It was a great birthdya present to have this up and running.Wow...was it the new tranny or what ????

Good memories. Even though I don't remember but, it looks like I was into it early on.Cool photo...
My Aunt Anita {RIP} had a photo of me sitting in an
oil drain pan @ like 2 y/o,
I was left unattended as my Uncle Tink,
was draining the oil in his truck...
Wish I could get a copy somehow, not sure who has that stuff now...
That photo of yours, kind of reminded me of it...
Have you tried less & more timing to verify the "sweet" spot??Went racing Wed. night and made a few chView attachment 347611 anges to the car. added more air to my tires, lowered my launch rpm Set a new personal best.
Thats next. I want to know. I think there is a bit more. need a good test and tune day.Have you tried less & more timing to verify the "sweet" spot??
its difficult to read plugs since to read a plug you need to shut it off just as you pass through the trap. I was told that you really cant do that with a 727 so I never tried it. Anything beyond that wont give you an accurate reading I was told. I use a fast meter to record my air fuel from launch to finish. If I am doing something wrong please advise. Always open to new thoughts and opinions. ThanksAre you logging or just reading plugs?

it does record but, there may be other models. Some plugs 6 and 8 are nearly impossible without removing my inner panel.The fast is a good set up,I don't know if it records.I've been clicking off at the stripe with NO issues.It would be no different if you wer driving down the road and the car died when you were going 75 MPH.If the fast does not record,then you need a vid of your gauges as you go down the track. I have a Racepak logger dash and I STILL pull several plugs.I keep 4 extra plugs behind my seat so I switch them out and drive back to the pits.If you can't get to ant plugs without melting your fingers,then figure a way to drag the car back so it has a chance to cool off a bit.
