Well, finally found the next weak link last night. Ran the truck down the track last weekend, ran it's best.ET and mph, 9.72 @ 150.5. threw it in the Dyno last night because I was fighting what I thought was spark blowout, but turns out the converter is probably giving up, or the trans. It made 1190rwhp on 24psi. Happy with where it's at currently so gunna take the trans out and bother Mike to see if he can learn some 400s :D:D

Nice Bryan! I thought that was a Rossler trans?
It's a stage 3 from them, but 500 bucks each way to ship it got old and I'd rather spend 500 round trip to Cali.

Mike has to "learn" how to build a 400... :rofl:
#sarcasm :D
You running a lockup converter in the 400 or still a non-lockup?

It's a PTC unlocked converter. I thought about the lock ones, but not sure if I want to go that route just yet

Well ended the race season on a good note, best pass of 9.72 @ 150.xx. hurt the converter so taking the rest of the summer off. It's 108* here today so easy excuse. Will be selling the 10 bolt rear axle and throwing in a 9" and a bit bigger tire, refreshing the converter and adding an SFI case and bellhousing. This th400 is the best thing I've ever driven. Plan to drop another 200 lbs of weight as well.

Ended 2019 off good... Made a best pass if 9.32 @ 147 yesterday, also did my NHRA license passes, passed, and good to 7.50/200 now, so no more getting kicked out of the track.
