Wife had the day off and volunteered to make the 4 hour drive for me to get it. Headed to jegs tomorrow afternoon to get some fittings to plumb this regulator and Sunday it'll be back in.

That's a good wife

Made the trip down to jegs today. Picked up my fittings for the regulator and plumbed it. Picked up some 20 weight ati super f instead of the 30 to loosen the converter a tad as well.

ttshovel · 05-23-2021, 05:48 PM

Got the trans in and fluid refilled. Got the regulator set around 75-80psi in the lower cooler circuit. Moved some wiring around while I had the dash out. Wired this into the m&m shifter so I no longer have to hold the transbrake button while in reverse. Also wired the tail lights back up, ran the wire up for the brake lights as well. Just need to pick up a pressure sensor and get it installed.

Still waiting on the Mac valve so I can wire it in for the chute. Contemplating getting another Mac valve and using a pushbutton on the dash for the chute release.

Changed the oil again and tested the tuners new 2 step settings. Built the commanded 15psi. Will try launching on that

Slowly working the little things out. Will be taking the car Sunday to mcr for their track rental. Fingers crossed everything holds up for me this go.

Took the car out Sunday, snapped all the converter bolts on the shift. It chewed the cover up pretty damn good. Was able to weld nuts to the broken bolts and get em out.

Sending it over to hughes and they're gonna upgrade me to their pro ssx converter and repair my lugs/pilot. Will be using all 6 bolts from here on out

Used my downtime to get the 4.11s put back in the car and have the driveshaft shortened a little bit more. Hoping I get this converter back shortly! Wanting to get out and test!

Updating the holley to v6 build 200 just for the extra advanced table features. Planning on using rpm limiter #1 offset to get it to come up on the brake faster. Praying my car isn't one of the ones that v6 firmware wrecks havoc on

ttshovel · 07-13-2021, 12:17 PM

Finally got the converter back today! They definitely gave me enough stickers lol. Will put it all back together this coming weekend and hopefully be back out shortly after

You going to Marion Friday night?

Unfortunately I'll be working Friday night or I'd be there! There's a track rental at 42 on Tuesday I'm going to be at from 5-10pm. Gonna see what it will do on a radial prep and track side tuning from b3r

Ended up throwing the rear back together and putting the driveshaft in as well. Just need to put the dash back in, fill the trans with fluid, and update to v6 firmware. Getting close again.

Got it all back together. Going to add this front wheel speed sensor to pick up the inside edge of the rotor as shown in the pics. Going to drill/tap that hole in the caliper bracket to thread the sensor in since it lines up with the pickup point. Will have plenty of resolution at 10 points per revolution.

Going to do a driveshaft speed vs front wheel speed to setup traction control

ttshovel · 07-16-2021, 05:20 PM

Worked out perfectly! Stoked to try it out!

Tommy434 · 07-18-2021, 12:24 AM

What’s up with the track rental next week?

250 a car, or 350 if rick does track tuning on a previously tuned b3r car. 5-10pm. One lane radial prep, the other no prep.

ttshovel · 07-18-2021, 05:34 PM

Got the car all put back together and there's a hell of a vibration coming from the converter area. I believe the flexplate is bent. I knew better than to try to use it after how badly it was beat up. Made a will call at jegs and will pick it up and get it swapped tomorrow to make it Tuesday to the track.

Picked up the 72 chevelle from getting repainted today so couldn't resist some pics together!

Jack Reacher driving the Chevelle? ;o)

Man, the Camaro has come a long way...
