Flexplate is being built, maybe this week.

Price after finishing this first one is looking close to $7500.

Nice Work, will be keeing an eye on this thread for new times and any more vids...

Dave do you have any goals for uppper speed records?
Like records set from 60-130 mph acceleration times? I know it has been talked about in other threads and think it would be intersting to consider.

An example, ams gtr 60-130 mph acceleration time was 3.31 seconds.

60-130 isn't something I have sights set on but if someone had a good Vbox I'd be willing to time the car and see what it would do.

I've always wanted to take this car to the Texas Mile and try to run 200 mph with it, I don't see that happening anymore, this trans has scrubbed a lot of MPH off of it, which is regrettable in that aspect. Maybe we'll try it with my GT500 instead.

I can't really argue with you on what you said but will say this. There hasn't been a single missed shift with it even with me behind the wheel. It's went faster every single pass it's made, it's produced the best 60' time the car has ever seen and the actual trans itself is showing NO signs of not being able to handle the power I am throwing at it.

I do agree though, I can not advertise it as a PROVEN package yet. We have built and delivered the first one, the 2nd one is sitting here waiting on one part and the 3rd unit has been sold.

The two failures we've had since we got it to work have both been my fault and both directly related to the flexplate. First the clearance was wrong, second was a stock unit we ripped the bolts out of.

I am not short cutting this next install. Everything will be right, new flexplate is being made now and I hope we can now make some reliable passes.

We will see.
