Hey All,
It's gonna be a race before the race.
I am running a heavy Chevelle with a 400 SBC, a mild roller cam, AFR 210 Eliminator heads and at D1-SC blower.
Till now I have been plagued with trans and traction issues.
I have a thing for 200-4Rs and am trying to make that work. Call me stubborn.
I just discovered last weekend that my converter (a turbo buick D5) was the source of my woes. I got it back rebuilt today. The clutch material had been torn off, a damper spring snapped and some fins were compromised. At this point I have a new kevlar clutch + brazed fins. It's the best I can do here in Belgium.
Problem is, I have to rebuild the trans and stuff it in the car by Friday PM because then I am driving to the race! So it will be a mad dash before the race and very little time to tune.

This will also be the first time (if iget there) that I run 325/60R15 drag radial tires on a VHT-prepped track! Man if I don't stick on lauch this time, I'll put a match to it!
Stay tuned!!!!!
