Hi Jeffrey;
I find that in high performance there are no waranties. That is why I taught myself to build 800 h.p small blocks that last. Now I am trying to become an expert in the 700 R 4 trannys, for with them the same rule applies, no warranties.
You see, I strongly believe in O/D trannies in Rods, for the beauty is excellent gearing for the track or off the light, and then when you get on the Interstate, you hit O/D and now, lock-up!
Hey Jeff, I pull my front wheels off the line without slicks or nos. The main reason, 4.10 gears, but then add to that, a 3.06 first gear. If you do the math, it is like 4.56 gears with a 350 tranny. Now get a load of this, I hit highways speeds, and I am doing 2500 rpm.
So thanks for the complement, but I am not genius, just a man who is fed up with failures.
I wonder if I can load an image, for then I truly would be a genius.Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
