Ill let you know what happends this weekend. Fresh trans/converter going in. I noticed some consistancy...(only 2 runs) with my trans temp gauge. Both runs were made at 125 degrees for the trans and it ran within .006 of eachother. Thats getting better. Would have loved to make more runs but you can go rounds with a .228 light hahaha

Wow, that is cool on the trans temp....think you could get 160 or so to start the day?

175-180 is supposed to be "optimum" trans temp, and it can make a huge difference.

I warmed it up to 150 and it seemed to not like it. It fell off a tenth. Could be a trans/converter issue I donno. I have never had a trans temp gauge and dont really want to get into looking at another one...but if it will help me go rounds im in. When I bought the motor off my friend the lines were looped on the trans...the trans builder said put a cooler on it...who do I believe?? Its got a cooler on it now and really dont want to remove it.

Getting the heat in the trans and not the engine is tough.
I've never run a gauge either, but I do know that my car picks up a touch if I get on the two step too early, and it picks up after the warm-up pass, coolant temp is always the same.
I've also run a trans without a cooler, saw no difference there, but I keep the cooler on my good transmission.

New converter was good for .01 in 60ft hahaha. But it skys the front end now. Ya my car always picks up after the first run..engine oil hot, rear, trans. The trans doesnt like to be over 125 degrees. Every time I warm it up it slows the car down. When its cold it or under 125 all is good. Hard to explain. Theres only one race left for us this year and I really dont care about consistancy any more...i want to go fast now that the good air have just arrived.
