Hey Bud. Soon as the Lost Coast Brewery Rasberry Nut Brown that I ordered shows up, I'll send you some Pumpkineater Ale and Rasberry Nut Brown in a care package. Might ease the sting a bit. Hang in there..............just tie a knot in the end of the rope and hang on.

I'm sorry to hear about the transmission Bruce... Maybe I should have opened my mouth and said something about going to RPM. Everyone I have seen high horsepower applications over 1400 hp, have all gone to RPM in the first place and never looked back. I have not once seen anyone go with bowler other than you. Sorry to hear, keep your head up and if your trusting RPM it would be a choice I would take Glad the bad news doesn't involve anyone in harm.

Sorry to hear about your trans problems Bruce. It seems like we are all experiencing trans issues this year. Anyways, luck will be in your favor and I'm sure you'll be able to get a good trans soon enough. I've heard great things about Rossler transmissions. You still coming out to SD next month?

Ok, so these videos suck. When we went out the second time we were going to do some more granny laps so didn't fire up the GoPro. I was driving and Tom was manning the computers/laptop so both our hands were full. But then it was running so well we headed up and did those 6 psi runs without the camera...doh. Yeah I know stupid is as stupid does.
I am kicking myself in the butt now. Next time I know to just film everything and edit it later. But who knew ? Coming off the lift for the road tuning: Pulling out of the garage. (forgot to disengage the ignition safety lock when first trying to start it). Then it fired right up. Getting ready for the road tuning laps. We are both surprised at how loud it is. Usually the turbos quiet the exhaust down more. Sounds pretty cool though. Putting in our order for more C-16 for the later high boost runs: Leaving NRE. You can hear the BOV's. First sounded like a beat coming out of the radio... Passing a bus during granny laps: |

I was actually doing some sketch drawing of the interior mods it would take... It's a lot... so probably not, but you never know... I talked to a guy at RPM about the TRXXXX and he sent back asking about my clutch... haven't heard too much since then, though someone mentioned a triple disc clutch soon to be out that will handle anything I throw at it... At the moment, the clutch isn't the issue, it's 4th gear... Corey had his trns guy order a 4th gear, all new (again) blockes/synchros/forks/ etc... we will get the gear under a microscope and micro polish it... If that doesn't work, we are thinking it may be a case problem... We do load the crap out of it on the dyno in 4th gear... may just be a defective case... Please do me a favor and tell your lovely wife I said hello... Can't wait to see you guys again at the Fest III

Judging by the sounds and horsepower you don't need no stinking 4th gear...just shift past it! HA! Bruce it is looking and sounding great.
