TopSpeed Evo Destroy's Tranny!!
Well we finally got her dialed in... the car is making HUGE power so we decided to take her to the streets and test her out. After setting up the flat shift I decided I would set the launch control. Played around a bit with different settings, and ended up with the car coming off the line a 6.2k rpms and 21psi. The car was feeling like a rocket outa the hole. It had never felt so good, well I guess it was just too good. As after I got some heat into the drag radials I decided to try the launch again. Only this time about 10 feet into the role out the car hooked and hooked hard. This was followed by a loud bang. I thought I broke a front axle... but that wasn't the case as the car was leaking tranny fluid. So I pulled her into the shop and removed the tranny.
Here are some pics... as you can see some of the cracked case but they just don't do justice to the damamge. I haven't taken apart the tranny yet but I am sure its a mess. Looks like we will hopefully be installing a new PPG gearset now to hold the power, and some kind of extra webbing on the housing. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...r/DSCN4108.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...r/DSCN4109.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...r/DSCN4110.jpg |

Haha I was there the night this happened. He's not kidding about this thing being a monster. All 4 drag slicks light up like they're made of plastic. Something HAD to break on this car its just too much. Hah, once they get it fixed I'm sure they'll be back to no good once again.
