Can't wait to get that magical torque converter. Do you have one that will put me in the 8's?

You guys gonna change the converter at the track? That way we'll get some real data.

I guess we won't be getting any real data.

If I was closer I'd help...sit on the tailgate, drink beer and watch. Moral support.

I do have a converter for you to put you in the 8's but you'll need a few other goodies.

did they charge you for the knob?

You sir, would need to reserve a seat on my tailgate, as all my friends are there for moral support and drink my beer as well.

Hey Chris,
What year trans is the converter from? How many splines? I was just thinking that might not fit my trans.

Let me know if you plan on selling the 3.55's, looking for a higher gear set.. good runs so far, keep it up, you'll be in the 11 second bracket in no time.

Nah, I'd bring my own tailgate and beer. Sell it to your friends when you run out.

Bobtile,
In the video it sounds like you are foot braking the car, correct? I saw the 9-way adjustable shocks in the pictures. What setting are you running on the shocks? I am rebuilding the rear suspension under my 66' Satellite right now. I purchased Rancho RS9000 part # 99116 for my build. Just trying to get some ideas.

Yes, footbraking. I'm putting the shocks in Saturday morning. Running at the track in the afternoon. I don't expect any changes from the rear shocks alone.

Not a procrastinator, a stalker and a feeling-hurter.

You'll see them in there on Saturday when I drive around you in the first round.

Bobtile,
Are you running SS springs or XHD springs?

SS springs.

The rear shocks are in place and I'm ready for the track tomorrow. Someone get my trophy ready!

How many dang converters do you have from your cars? I just bought an 8" converter from you....
