.5 second and 3 mph ain't bad for a trans swap. :D

I really need to rebuild my AOD with a wide ratio gear set and a 2600 stall. I would now but I just had a roof put on the house so I have no "expendable" money for the car right now.

if you ran it down here, you'd be guaranteed a 13!

Congrats... If you could have carried the gain you made at the 330 to the end you'd have run 14.16... For what ever reason it wasn't pulling as good past the 330, lost .77 mph as well...

yeah still working on the 13's... the slicks are a taller tire and killing some of my gear.... with 3.08's... they are tall enough.... I am going to swap the TC diff into in this weekend and try it again with the 3.55's and 5 bolt conversion....

I won all four races that night...
first was an old camaro, then a Hemi magnum, then an '03 Mustang GT with 4.10's and exhaust, then I spanked a twin turbo AWD audi S4.. man did he scoot off the line though... even beat me to the 60' mark...

I got to get mine to the track, tires are a must, otherwise I'm smoking them down the track. Sorry for the hijack.

hahah the worst part was that I missed 2nd right before that... and the shifter felt funny comming up to the burnout box... that should have been my sign to call it a night... I missed 2nd, REEFed it in to hit it.... went for third and BANG!! *** Ah !!!***... LOL you wanna play race, you gotta Pay race...

I hope to get it fixed and back to the track one more time before it closes this year... I WANT A 13 PASS!!! LOL.

haha I do have a video of it, but I had a buddy tape it from outside. there was a stupid idiot in the burnout box revving it so you cant hear anything though... and yeah for now it is the stock shifter... cant save my pennies for that... this is my daily driver and have to get it up and going now.... if I buy an after market tranny I am going T56:D
