I would consider it if I actually used the car more on the street but the T 400 is more of a max effort drag trans.

6l90 gearing just isn't good for drag racing compared to some of the other options.

1st gear is hard to hook up.

It is good enough to break into the 9's. Trackman did it with totally stock 6l90. Now if your car is faster than high 9's the ratios are a little too tight but I think high 9's would be acceptable for the vast majority of Camaro owners.

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it is easy or the best way. Maybe he would have gone mid 9s with a 4l80.

I'm going to go stare at your car in a few

Trackman told me the car shifted to 5th on that pass so it could have been faster but he also drives it quite a few miles to the racetrack so It is nice to cruise at 80 with the engine below 2000 rpm.

Kevin is still waiting on more parts, the shortys have not come in. If I was a little closer I would go stare at it too....lol. I figured you would be there when it dynos. Maybe we can meet when I pick it up.

Yeah that what happen to mine 1st though 3rd was good and would slip going to 4th.

Well the 10.36 was not in the best of air. When cooling temps come back I will run 10.20 are better at 633 rwhp just think what it will do when I go for 800rwhp. next year.

Wow 800rwhp is gonna be alot of fun, my previous camaro was running 750 to the wheels, that was pretty crazy.

Weight? Look forward to seeing what you do on 800whp.
