Nope, too much going on at my shop to do the swap, so it looks like hopefully Tues. night I will get a chance to do it. If not, might have to wait till this weekend. I just want to be able to drive her without injuring my left leg for once!!!

I work for a place called Vivid Racing here in Tempe. It'll only take me a couple hours as well, I've got a lift and one of the most awesome tranny jacks I've ever seen. Its just a matter of the shop not being needed when I wanna do it...

Anywho, did the tranny swap last night, and it was a COMPLETE SUCCESS!!! It seriously feels like a brand new car. All my lost power that I had when I first bought the car I can feel coming back (and with the LO3, ANY power gain is easy to feel ). Unfortunatly Nic and I were to focused and too greasy to take pictures of the actual swap, but we will be dismantaling my old tanny here soon to see what it looked like. As soon as I get them I'll throw them up here...

Bruce, I'm curious to see what you run now with the new tranny. Think your 1/4 will be any better? Does it hook up much better?

Yeah actually I did, and he said he would only charge ya $55 an hour since you are a friend of mine (instead of the normal $75). Other than that, it'd be standard by-the-book priceing as far as hours go.

Well, still really hard to determine. I don't wanna say it's ***** to the walls faster just to head out to Firebird and run 16.3's all day. All I can say.....it feels SOOOOOOO much better

I've heard that commercial before, she fell for it hook/line/sinker too! We will have to make another trip out to firebird sometime soon. Once I get a good tune on this car I want a rematch David!
