    I have noticed lately that left lane is a good 2-3mph slower everywhere compared to right. Use to only be at 1/4mph was different, at least for me. Now it's the entire way. I look at my slip and see ET is quicker and then see the mph and think no fn way it's that slow. That timing system needs looked over or something.

    Bob that pass looked great. Those shifts were nice quick and clean. Makes me jealous of that trans.

    i was a bit embarrassed to have it there looking like it did. I'm not a clean freak but try to keep it looking good. I broke it Saturday, it sat outside my buddies on the trailer until Wednesday, then we climbed all over it doing the trans swap plus some other maintenance. It looked pretty bad :( sorry to have missed you guys. We was BSing around all night.

    thats interesting Ed. I didn't post the left lane slip from the last pass but it was 2.5 slower at 1/8th and darned near 3 at the quarter. The car still went 11.14 only .02 slower in 60', but the MPH was all off. I actually felt the right lane was FAST as I don't think I had the power in it to run that kind of MPH and thought the left lane stuff was more believable. That opposite of what I am used to since I always showed 1/4 MPH high in that left lane. My car seems real subceptable to those issues, the air dam gets the beams with bumps.

    i hate all my previous transmissions now :)
