Ended up meeting David in the photo tent, even though we didn't really know who we were talking to at the time...and met some cool peeps off of LS1truck. (I'm sure a few other PT guys, but had no idea who we were talking to.) Can't wait till the next event!
@ Corey: Nice pics and vids mang! Even saw me in a few, thanks!

I never got to make a pass cause I'm having some tranny/converter issues. I went to the dyno on thursday to dial in the new combo and it burned the 2nd and 3rd clutch packs in the tranny. Pulled it out thursday night and took the converter and tranny to circle d. They cut the converter open and everything looked perfect. So, after talking to Chris (converter guy at circle d), he decided to change the stator and the pump and put it back together. The tranny shop freshened the tranny and I got it stabbed back in their Friday night, took it for a spin around the block and it was acting really weird. Converter was locking at 15 mph with the tranny already in high gear! I just loaded it on the trailer, hoping I could figure something out at the track, but it's a total piece of ****. Whatever they did to it, it won't even let the motor rev past about 4000 rpm sometimes. It never does the same thing twice. Its like it has a mind of its own now. Its acting very strange, and the trans temps are higher than they have ever been by far. I even wrote a tune that completely eliminated converter lockup no matter what, and it would still lock as soon as the truck started rolling. Anyway, I'll get it figured out. I was able to get 1 half *** pull on the dyno to 6000 rpm and it was making some pretty good power. So I'm anxious to get it fixed.
