Dang. I know delays can be frustrating. But, at least it's early in the year and you have some time to get to events later this spring and into summer.
I know how you feel... sort of. I have had a few delays in my build too. I am determined I will be driving it to the Fest in August though! (Maybe I just jinxed myself.) |

Sorry that Brandi's present tranny is a POS. Never goes as smooth as you thingk. I do 2nd Chris' recommendation - RSG are the guys for the high HP builds... |

Man, I was hoping that you were going to be all smiles once it was off the lift. Transzilla, huh? That sounds like a beast!

Transzilla is the one my friend went with, and it's supposed to be a beast. His will soon be tested cause he's already over 1000 RWHP after his first dyno pull.
Or you can join us in the 4L80 club, and at the track you'll never have to go to 4th gear! |

R-
Is the "POS tranny" the stock tranny that was been built? I tried to look through your thread to see if you replaced it or rebuilt it and didn't find anything. Did I miss something? |

With Corey talking to several vendors today,the consensus isthat wither the case or the bell housing is warped/bent etc... Quote:
If need be, we will contact them... Corey has a couple of good friends there...

looks like you have it pretty under control... I am acquaintances with Craig Liberty, owner of Liberty Gears if they have popped up on your radar at all.
He was going to beef up my 6060 last summer. you could get one of their prostock trans or the clutchless... haha |

There are some beautiful trannies out there, but where do you draw the line between a race car and a street car. Being able to drive it all the time without a gutted interior is worth a lot... |

Corey has a loaner trans for me to use for the rest of the days I'm home... bout five... and it will allow us to get some miles on the diff... He drove her a bit today checking some things and he said the new diff is simply amazing... Quiet, smooth, no disengagement noise like the original diff had... and it feels really really solid... "that car is really easy to drive."

Well that's cool you get to drive the car for a while. 5 days and you're gone again?
