I hope your tires are sticky.
yeah im thinking so. im going to play with the 2step to dial in how much boost i can leave on b4 it just spins the tires off. on the street it seems like 4-5 psi launch is perfect it squeals a little bit but its pulling hard anything above like 7 it turns into a hovercraft lol.i would assume the track should hook better . i got limiter straps on the front a arms so that has helped keep the weigh on the tires up front.

i didnt know this when i ordered it but the circle d guy recommended that i should probably upgrade my flexplate at this time and im glad i took his advice because when i pulled my stock one it was cracked !also going from the stock 3 bolt to a 6 bolt just gives you a little more peace of mind.

Why did you delete those posts? They look great!

If you want to skip the straps and get a better ride you should do the coilover swap!

Hah I was uploading pics to Facebook and the only way I could figure out how to get them off photo bucket was to load them up here and copy them since photo bucket won't let you copy them off of their site. Besides most of those pictures should be in this thread I believe. I actually started collecting the coil over swap pieces had the qa1s the brackets and everything but decided to not do it for some reason that I can't remember now.

Is the shift cable adjusted and going through its motion (detents I think they are called) as it is supposed to?

I wonder if you have a jacked up shift strategy in your tune.

Also, I believe there is an electronic shift solenoid that you could try to replace. Only use genuine GM solenoids in the trans.

You have reached the limit of my trans knowledge....lol

im not sure on the first one and im going to hook the laptop up tomorrow and see what the shifting tables look like even know i have no idea what im looking at really. not sure what solenoids flt use but i would assume they got that figured out. i need to send you my tune so you can compare it to your tune when you had the 80e.
