to launch right!!!
Man, this was a tough season, first the converter went bad, of course it wasn't TCIs fault, but for some reason they sent a complete new one, hmmm.
Then the BOLT on oil p/u broke and fell, off, lesson, ALWAYS WELD them on, regardless, lost my good motor.
Threw a 406 together with my small cam went out and the new converter was way too loose. Put my tighter one in, then sheared off all 5 wheel studs on the 2nd pass, guess the "little" motor is making some torque. Bent up the bed, but coulda been much worse.
Broke a rocker arm, fixed it went out, ran a 11.01, which I was happy, as the Good motor w/same cam and converter only went a 10.94 at the same track, and the 11.01 was after alot of idleing and street driving, so I anticipated picking up a little more.
Ohhhhh noooo, that was too much to ask I guess, I lost 2 tenths the next run and had a similar 60, so I think it spun but only a little, well, then ran 1st round, redlighted, but there was alot of noise coming to the pits.
Loaded up, came home and took it apart Sunday, well, it broke another rocker, so I guess its winter time.
Anyway here is a link to my vid page, look on the left under Nov. Vids, there is one from last week when it did spin and got out of the groove, then a burnout and launch from the last pass, the truck is finally leaving like I think it should!
