Is it time? I got stuck behind an LB7 drowning me out with smoke today, on the way home from work (Best cloud I've seen yet). I nailed it too pass him (6th gear) and threw a p0700 p0777 and a bunch of others that cleared right away. I didn't get to see the other codes as they cleared the first time. It took two tries to get rid of the p0777/p0700 after I stopped. I feel bad for the guy in the LB7. He got his ass handed to him by a limped LBZ. I was on the limmiter when I passed. He gave up!!!

probably about 15k hard miles (Mikes stage 4), 1XX 1/4mi passes, 10 sled pull's, 4 dyno pulls. I actually made a mistake in post #1. I was in a hurry to go get dinner, so I typed it up quickly. It limped while I was passing a stock looking LMM to get behind the LB7. The LB7 was drowning out the LMM, so I figured I would have some fun with the LB7. I was not going to pass him once it limped, but the F***** was on the smoke hard.

My trans threw that 777 code every time I killed my C1s. That's just my experience.

This may be a dumb question (<----good start right? ) I've heard about the C3 oiler, but I'm not familiar with it's job, use, price or installation. Are guys having a problem with lubrication to the C3? I ask because I'll be into my trans again this summer, and if it's beneficial I might as well do it. Thanks

the c-3 oiler is 2 lines that install off of the pressure test port and go into hollowed out bolts for the PTO covers that spray oil on to the C3 clutches , and yes there is not enough lubrication on the c-3's when we start racing and running them so hot .

i saw black rings on my c-3's after only 4-5 mounths of use before i got the oiler . i really think the oiler is the only reason my trans is holding the kind of power it is . definatly money well spent if your dong your trans .

:confused: any of the sucoast kits should handle full throttle in any gear , even my SC3 has never blinked an eye luging 5th and hammering down @ 620 hp . but as i stated i thinks mikes c3 oiler has help keep the clutches fresh, cool , and lubricated in my truck .
