Default Performabuilt level 3 60e

Well the Performabuilt level 3 did its job last night and held together for an 11.81@112. My race weight was 5200lbs and I cut a 1.68 60ft in 4wd. Performabuilt said that I am in new territorry with this tranny and want to see how far I can push it so stay tuned. I'm debating on turning up the boost soon and shooting for low 11's to see what it can handle.

I deffinitely like the level 3 but 60e's don't have a good track record with our level of weight and power. Hopefully it holds up and gets me into the low 11's.

Throw some slicks on that bitch and turn the boost up and you will be in for a hell of a ride.

Were you running the radials? What tire pressure were you running? I ran the ET street radials at 20psi on my TA and they dead hooked on a 5k clutch dump. I would think you should be able to get them to hook on your truck if you can get the weight to transfer right.
