wana run this by yas
#16
I posted times last year and numerous times in other posts, but I can post it up again haha. My fastest run was 14.8 and quite a few things went wrong, I ran out of HPO with about 3-400 feet left, I spun the tires off the line for about 25 feet or so, and my tranny was slipping so bad all the way down the track that I could only run it twice in about 2.5 hours because it was so hot. Just for reference of how hot it was, I swapped my tranny about 3 months later (with nothing else strenuous on the trans, just DD) and when we pulled the tranny it was at "normal" temp and 6 hours later when we pulled the torque convertor out it was still to hot to touch without gloves hahaha. But I will have a modded 17* soon and I have a stronger tranny this time so I'm hoping to pull that down to about 14.1 this year with my DD truck.

Ya I just stripped the allen hole on the plug when I installed the 17* saturday. I just used an easy out and it came right out. When I tightened it back up I just put it in with the easy out still in it and tightened till it fell out. No leaks yet. I'm getting a new one from partsguyed though. Trying to think of something else I should get so I don't pay 3 times the cost of the plug for the shipping.
