After reading your post better, that's one outstanding 60E. There has been quite a bit of change in 60E track abilities in the last couple of years for sure.

When I met Dave he was looking for a Machine shop that would build custom trans parts for a reasonable price. I guess it was a good deal for both of us. Turned out to be a great deal for me. I don't know what happened to him but I hope he'll be back around one day.

That was my best 1/4 time for today. The new set up is starting to come together. I was letting out to keep from getting kicked off. When I looked at the log my a/f was 9.3/1 just before I let out and I realized that I was out of bottle. a/f got down to 10.5/1 on the previous pass but I was too excited to figure it out. Got the bottle filled but it started to rain before I could get it warmed up.
The truck cut a 1.55 60' and went 7.06 @ 96.5. The previous pass was a 1.53 60' and went 7.09 @ 93.4 on a smaller shot.

and did you re-stall your PI b/c it was a 3600 last week when you posted. Not trying to stir any sh**, just wondering.

That trans. was built over 2 years ago. My truck is not a daily but I'm sure I've put over 15,000 on the trans. I threw the drive shaft out at the big end of the track in Sept. of last year. It broke the tail housing in 2 and cracked the main case. I sat there and watched while Dave swaped the guts into another case. He said the parts looked good and didn't change anything. I just checked the trip meter and I've got 3,317 on the 370. The trans started to flare during 2-3 shift after about 15 passes but the flare would come and go and move around from part throttle to wot and back again. Then the shifts lost the snap at the track last week end. I thought it was done but I put a new vacuum modulator in it Friday night and it's like new again.I know I'm writting a book here but this is unreal.

That is very cool and big props to him. Most people that use a 60E as you have pretty much go through them every season just to freshen them up. It sounds as if you really haven't had to.

The 1/4 time is correct also but I let out after the 1/8. Again look at the mph
I gage a converter by the rpm it leaves at.The vig was supposed to be a 4000 but the best it ever did behind the 5.3 was around 3550 so I called it a 3600. Same converter but it leaves around 4000 now cause I'm making more power.
Hope this clears things up for ya.
