Finally made it into the 6s. Only a 1.55 60 was the best. Considering the converter is way too tight, I am happy to make it this far.

I am torn, do I rebuild the th400 and install a Trans brake?

Do I sell my built T56 and use that cash to fund a 4L80 with Trans brake?

Will be income tax when it happens but the 80e will need a 1000$ connverter, lol.

And this was also done by going to a 26x10 from a 28x9. I am sure a deeper gear set would help, but being a street car I don't want to go much deeper. Maybe if I has OD, I may go 4.10....

Was 3060 before the wheels and tire swap with me in the seat. Once I get radials on I will hit the scrap yard scale again.
