~6k RPMs is a lot of stress for any retainer. Were those OE?

Trust me I’m very aware. Thankfully it didn’t start back for another pass. Would of been a lot worse I’m sure.

Why would you free rev that high? Its losing power after about 3200-3300rpm...To each their own, just seems unnecessarily risky to me.

It’s supposed to be. But the tci outlaw 2-3 you have to pull the lever and it will lock out neutral unless you let go of the lever. Mine once it’s in 3rd al I have to do is bump it for neutral

I’m with you on the not thinking about it part. The trans I built seems to be working well so far. Time will tell. May messs it up next pass. Never can tell. Fluid still looks great and shifts are frim and instant hope it stays that way

Budget 6.70 drag truck build!!
Got some passes Friday. First full pass was a 7.85 with a 1.88 60ft. Then we decided to drop trite pressure some and the truck hooked a lot better but started to bounce and ended up running 7.80 with a 1.75 60ft. That was out of it a lot of the pass too. Gonna have to adjust the shocks to get the bouncing out of it. But truck made some good passes still fuel only. With spray the truck will come to life it’s heavily overfueled currently.

Just alittle update. Trans was hanging on 2-3 shift when locked up and it was a rookie mistake. I presumed with full manual valve body you didn’t need the tv lever hooked up. So therefore line pressure was low. Finally got a gauge. Was 105 in gear and 125 locked up. Now I’ve got it all situated. Don’t think it messed anything up in the process but now it sits at 165 at idle in gear and 195 locked up.

Most people I know when running a FMVB they just put the TV cable maxed out.

Bed is on the truck for a good while, atleast I hope so. Had to trim the wheel wells out alittle to clear the slicks. They were just barely not touching at ride height now I have about 3inches of clearance

Ran a new best last night after a night of blowing boots every pass on Friday. Got some better spring clamps and hopefully fixed the problem for good. Ran a 7.35 at 97 with a 1.79 60ft on a no prep track.
