Alright, alright. Work is over.
So it was a great day of fun, but a very disappointing day for outcomes. I mean I can't be too upset, throwing 1000+whp at a 100% factory 10r80 was bound to end in burned up clutches and that's exactly what happened... on the first pass.
Car ran a 10.0 pass at 151 mph right off the trailer. The transmission was slipping and hanging up not shifting. I knew right away the car wouldn't put the power down the rest of the day. I either needed to hang it up and leave, or send it and see what happens. Naturally, I sent it.
Pass 2 was a 9.8 at 157.8 mph. The car slipped the trans for the first few hundred feet and then it came on like a rocket. The trans locked up and shifted, but the front half slipping just killed the e.t. I mean a 157 trap speed is good for a great 8 second pass.
After my two shit passes I entered index racing (9.50 - 10) so I could get more passes in. Round 1 came and the car stuck on the 3-4 shift and just pegged 8k. It wouldn't shift. Ran a 9.9 at 139mph but won the round due to opponent red lighting.
Round 2 came up and I knew the car wasn't going to e.t. I needed to cut a light. I managed to red light like a putz. Car ran it's fastest e.t. of 9.7 at 157 mph.
After reviewing logs, Rob confirmed the transmission slipping and recommended clutches. I'm just not sure I want to build the 10r80. I am still thinking th400 swap. This winter will be interesting! Stay tuned.
