Can't help more than that. Done right, the aluminum PG is a terrific trans for drag racing, but you need a wide power band and/or low gears. And lots of revs.

Valve body problems, maybe? That delayed reaction just doesn't sound right.

That's what I keep hearing but my transmission guy thinks it shouldn't be that because its a brand new valve body BTE brake
valve body, Another guy told me its the pressure relief spring in the valve body, so I am changing cases getting another pump shaft machined and going to reinstall, if the problem is still there I will put my friends already working BTE brake in it and see if it cures the problem. Hopefully the next time it works properly.
I do have the 1.82 gear set and a 4400 EDGE racing Custom built converter out of California, we will see how it launches then!
Thanks
