I'm glad the Watts showed itself on the road and not on the top end!

Just because I mentioned it,did the car launch more level today with the rear tightened up?

Go Jay , holding an all 8's average ;D.
Pulling for you here in Texas!

I saw that too Marc, I really think Jay did an excellent job letting him know he wasn't happy with his comment. The interview went well and Jay explained himself and turned the interview around in a very positive way and I think Frieburger appreciated that as well.

I don't think I could have handled it that good. Great job Jay!

Sadly it's a Power-Slide  :'(

As in GM Powerglide?  Does it have a Gear Vendors OD? Interesting

Powerglides are a solid trans. I see them in used successfully in big power imports as well. I'm curious why a C4 wouldn't work? We put nearly 1000hp through them without a hiccup. Maybe the PG's can take substantialy more than a C4?

Does Jay shift the PG manually?  Not sure if there are rules that require that or not?

Just did a bit of research. Seems that Powerglides can handle huge power, 2500hp if built right. The max a C4 can handle is 1000hp. Guessing Jay wanted the extra buffer with the Powerglide.
