Sounds like a solid setup.

Are you running it through the radiator in addition to the aux cooler?

I'm sure your guy knows to put the 700 spring in there with the boost valves.

This is the one I used though I have read that Jake reccomends a pink spring.

Helps get/keep the pressure up.

Red clutches? I like raybestos stage 1 red in direct with the thick steels to absorb the heat. Might even think about some blue ones for your power level. But just the direct. Tans in the rest. My opinion.

Wide carbon band? You need it and it needs clearanced but I'm sure your guy knows of he built the last one.
Whose servo? Ck is the biggest. I'm using a sonnax?

If it shifted well before it should do it again if he sets the clutches up the same.

I am excited. Won't be long and you will be laying down 10s again.

Hard parts and billet stuff is from Chris. My trans guy has done other mods...likely some or all the stuff you mentioned. I bypass the rad and go straight to the cooler...and I keep an eagle eye on the transmission temperature. No idea of the brand of clutches/band...but if I remember on Friday I'll ask him when I pick it up. I ran F fluid in it last time.

[Scoobum]

Rich...what's your recommendation for setting the TV cable for WOT racing purposes? Your recommendation for fluid...and why.

[TexasT]

Make sure at wot the tv is pulling the valve open all the way when you have the pan off. Probably need a helper to see or push the pedal down.



I had a guy on tb.com post he used this so I bought a pail full and put it in. So far so good. Why you ask? It was cheaper than trans fluid. I did say I am on a budget. It doesn't smell burned and hasn't gotten discolored yet.

If you have the budget n micale pushes dex vi. If my budget wa unlimited I'd give it a whirl but I'm pretty happy with the coastal stuff so far.
Probably need to ask your builder what he thinks, especially if there is a warranty.

Apparently Lonnie at extreme recommends B&M quick shift.
I run Mobil 1 dex6 I wait for sales at Cambodian Tire or Wally World.

[Scoobum]

Thanks for the info guys. I'll likely go with the Trick Shift or Dex...and I'll ask the builder.

Jake up in Sanger recommends the low viscosity John Deere Hy Guard and one quart of your flavor of red transmission fluid so you can read the dipstick.  It's pricey... 

[TexasT]

Yeah, that's why I bought the multiviscosity as I drive it year round. I looked at hydraulic fluid and there were three viscosity levels that I found with 32 being the thinnest. Also that jd in high n low, and the stuff case ih uses with a 303 in the name. I just chose the coastal stuff because the guy on tb.com said it worked for him. And it was about $50 at the local AutoZone for 5 gallons. Cheaper than a gallon of trans fluid at wally world.
I have read that the b&m trickshift is very similar to type f but that is just hearsay.
I think as long as it isn't getting too hot pretty much anything will work.

[Scoobum]

Just the fax ma'am...just the fax

Recommends Dex
Uses Raybestos clutch discs
Said high gear needed VERY LITTLE air pressure to engage. 2-3 shift will be quick and crisp
Automatically replaces all the bushings to keep everything trued up
Told me to adjust the TV cable like I did last time
Keep a close eye on the temperature

[Scoobum]

If there's anyone who beats on a 200 any harder than I do...then I'd like to see it.

[TexasT]

This guy is doing a pretty good job.

I'm excited. Cant wait for some new non slip times.

[larrym]

Mine at the track.

[TexasT]

Nice.

[Scoobum]

Thank God there's others out trashing on these cars!!!!!!!
