your saying they will rise quickly while locked?

 

Unlocked. Now the transmission is fluid coupled and fluid thrashing occurs.

i only went once down the track (too scared to break something and only way to get home) i just wanted the experience of going down the track.

i dynoed first. dynoed 527hp and 1072tq. i just posted this in another thread, but a few guys that have dynoed before on another dyno said they did 50-100hp more on another dyno, so i was expecting like 400hp. i was still in first place out of 10 people when i left. 

 

on my track run. i kicked it in 4x4. got up on the rpm slightly. i was making just a couple pounds of boost. i had a 2.1 60ft (hence the no boost launch) but finished at a 8.7 at 86mph. if i launched harder i would for sure be in the low 8's! i also had a hard slip inbetween 1-2 so that slowed me down for sure. 

 

THIS IS ALL WITH A VP TRUCK

You might have been walking home too.  Glad nothing got broken and you did alright.
