yea about a yr ago.
but that was with the open diff and 2.73 gears. lol it ran 10 flat at 74 mph. it barely got into second gear before the 1/8.
hoping to see some low 9 maybe high high 8's with the new setup.

From what i've read aobut your engine you should be in the high 8s no problem.  I don't think a little more convertor would hurt any.

I completely agree about the convertor. I'm just trying to wait and see if I can get a 700r4 built to handle track use and daily driving. I'm thinking of round a 2400 convertor if I get a trans done.

Great build! I am curious of the air breather set up. I got to have one.
