Gas station in my garage 🤫. 55gal drum of Ignite E90 with a 12v pump for when it’s time to go

I have a th400 in my car. Love it. No more messing around with the tuning. I went with extreme automatics 2k build. Very strong. Aj is the mastermind behind getting them to work with the stock push button start.

Are you on the track with it yet? If so..... what tire and gear are you running and how is it working? Hopefully we will be testing this month and finding out what the best gear is going to be for this car. I have a 3.40 in it now with a 30.5” tire. I’ll be looking at the rpm at the finish line and possibly making adjustments.

I’m running 315/50/17 with 3.09. Only been to track 1 time. Was learning how to drive the car and it was 1/8 mi. It drives great in the street. Have a 2800 -3000 stahl in it

Coan Engineering T400 is in. Thanks to Micha at OST for his help. The complete package as it is available makes this a very simple mod. All of the decisions regarding what is needed for this have been put together and for the most part it is bolt in. Kinda like a CAI. 😂 Here it is as of today....

And btw...... it’s 60 lbs lighter than the A8!

I got the rear mount and wasn’t happy with the movement just FYI

Haha. There’s about as much GM in this thing as there is Ford in my Strange 9” rear end.

Hmm 🤔. I see that you have a custom crossmember but can’t see how that attaches to the trans. Mine is a OEM manual trans crossmember and mount that attaches to that custom OST plate on the trans. That seems to be a pretty solid way of using the OEM trans mounting structure to keep it in line. Have you had a unstable situation there? What was the problem and have you addressed it?

I’ll try and get a pic of mine. It’s a lot cleaner and studied than that

Marc your build continues to be a very high powered race build.
It wouldn't surprise me if you were going for low 8's?

Haha. In my dreams. I don’t have the chassis cert for it and that is a whole other thing!

It attaches at the two mounting holes in the tail shaft housing using a stock GM mount.
Put the trans in and didn't like the rpm being so high when I just wanted to take it on a cruise I have 3.70 rare gears so I added a gear vendors OD
witch made my driveline a lot shorter so when I put my driveline loop in I used the stock carrier brg location
only gave me about 3/4 of a inch clearance didn't want to take a chance with the carbon fibre driveline
