I know they're pricey, so are the ARP, but I'd look into doing titanium bolts for the beadlock rings. Plus you can anodize them a different color too. My titanium washers hadn't showed up when I took the pic

I've seen them. Planned to pick some once I get to the jewelry.

I may have gone a little overboard but once you see how much weight they save it really adds up. Plus it's an easy way to add contrasting colors if you anodize them.

@myfast70 badass man. I'll head over to your thread and check it out there.

Rear wheels back on, shifter linkage adjusted and back on the ground. Hopefully make some test passes on Thursday or Friday night!

Been to 3 different tracks over the past week. Converter data looks good. The downside is that when the converter couple's, its simply over powers the tires. Transmission coming out today and Extreme Automatics in Cincinnati will be installing an Coen 2.05 gearset to replace the 2.48. This will tame down the launch as the transition into power is far to abrupt.

I thought it would be a little lazy if anything, coming from the steep 1st gear in the 6R80. I imagine the way the convertor is setup also has a lot to do with it. What rear gear are you running now with the 400?

373 rear. The converter flashes quick to 7200, when it couple's under WOT its just impossible to control.

I would have thought it would be easier to control vs 6r as well. The 6r uses a much tighter converter and uses that 4.17 ratio to pull it through. The 2.48 in the 400 relies on a quick flash up and high stall to work.

It probably making lots of torques too and then you start getting up in the rpm and the power just keeps coming on

When the converter is slipping, that's when the torque multiplication is happening.

@RoadCone and I had the th400 out in 1hr 5min. Was bullshittin, so we will shoot for 50min next time. Off to Extreme Automatics for the 2.05 gearset.

Easy Peasy…. Now time to get that unit upgraded!!

Tow pig update. The 5.0, 10r80 and 3.73 combo is badass. It would pull the car 125mph if you had the nuts to do it. Ported 21 GT intake, afe inlet, 3in cat back, tuned, eaton truetrac diff in rear, Ridetech suspension with traction bars and airbags. Got almost all from @beefcake , hopefully sponsor me a blower soon LOL. Got parts fast and at a great price as usual!
