, I was hoping you would say you were doing a 4x4 launch and power braking that thing. I still have my stock 60e... I think I'm driving on borrowed time right now.When I was running 5-6 psi with stock cam, my stock high-mileage transmission was doing pretty good. Then I did a cam swap. About the second week of daily driving, the trans wasn't very happy, so it got built. After that, I pullied-down to 11-12 psi, and smoked the 3-4 clutches(red Alto) and the Kevlar band. Then it got the blue Alto clutches and a Carbonite band, but not the billet shafts. 2 or 3 months later we were ordering the billet shafts. :nunchuk1:

Are your trans internals still stock? Stock converter? Stock cam? How much boost are you seeing?

I don't think I will pulley down because of the IAT issues since I live in Houston (where it's 90+ nine months a year), but I plan on doing a gt2-3 cam and LPP's within the next year or so.
BTW that is one beautiful track you guys have there.
