:thumbsup: 100%, what an awesome run. I was wondering what brakes are you running on? what auto upgrade have you done, the APS upgrade? Is there any other upgrades you needed to do for the APS III, besides the valve springs, of course?

bossman,

I have standard brakes. As well as the valve springs, APS installed an Auto trans fluid cooler, just to help the box that was always gonna struggle to handle nearly 800nm of torque! But with the Phase 2 Auto upgrade, she held together fine after a few 11 sec passes on Friday night. :bomb:

would I be right in saying that if you had better brakes you'd be able to stall it a lil higher and launch just that lil more faster?

No not likely. The convertor has a certain slip speed & bigger brakes won't change that speed, esecially against Mark's engine

And the problem is that the rear wheels break traction the higher you stall with the stock convertor, not that the front brakes don't hang on. :thumbsup:
