Have you got a battery...
yes.. brand new for 69 bucks
Left one thing out, the 904 installed has the low 1st gear
Nice !!! Test drive went well !!!
Going to take some getting used to, manual shifting on the column (RMVB).

Traction limited I'm sure, it has to be.

That changes things. I’ll add another 1/10 to my original guess. Still no mph change in my opinion.
Yes, I can burn the tires now. BUT, very easy to control it on the street and keep it very minimal. I believe on the track spinning will not be an issue. Launches harder for sure!
With the converter and the lower 1st gear, I'm looking to shift to 2nd gear in what seems like an instant. I found I have to leave the line with the shifter handle already pulled in so I can just drop to 2nd. 2nd to 3rd is a sinch
very well could be
I took it up over 100 mph, like 102, and the tach was at about 5100/5200.

At that MPH I think you will hit a 12.4
Good luck!
Good luck!
I would be thrilled with a 12.4.
Car is track ready, so we'll know the first chance we get
Oh, by the way! The FTI converter is wonderful. Drives great and performs as advertised
changing my call 12.5@107 you are not going to be out of rpm
still think the 1/8 mph et mph will show faster then the 1/4
I'd take a 12.5 ..... Less Slow is the Goal !!!
here is a video if any interest. I'm getting better at the 1-2 shift, but it's not a bullet proof process yet ... lol
anyways.... next up for this car is the track !!

If you've got a spare steering column laying around, take it apart and see if you can modify the detents on the shifter plate. I friend of mine did that years ago on a column in a 67 Belvedere after he went to a RMVB. He'd just have to put it in D for 1st gear, then slap it down one notch for 2nd, then pull it towards him to go to 3rd. It worked slicker'n cat poop on linoleum....lol. I wish I could tell you how he did it, but it was 1989 and I've slept since then. Maybe he just flipped the detent plate over? I'm confident you can figure it out if you look at the plate inside the column.

Sept 13th looks like will be a target-date to make some passes....
Backup date to that will be the 20th...

13th forecast is 93* and 24% rain throughout the day, making it hot and humid. Very unusual for this time of year for us. Been dry and barely hitting 70*, but of course, when I want to race ...... u know lol.
I won't go in the heat and humidity. Looks like we will try again on the 20th
