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.

Trying to think of something else I should get so I don't pay 3 times the cost of the plug for the shipping.
When you buy a new cylinder ram, it comes with plugs in the ports where the hydraulic hoses go. maybe you could find one of them the right size. (it even has a allen head in it.) I could mail you one if you want, don't know if its the right size though.

No worries, I ended up ordering a new dark gray cps for a spare from him too. Also a couple other little things. Thanks though.
