    You may be pulling in hot air so the engine is pulling power out of the tune. Did you put a good stall converter in with the 65e or is it stock? History shows that cold days make for great HP and hot days suck.
    Yea, still running the Yank TT300. The heat has definitely been a factor. It was cooler in the mornings and I noticed a big difference. I guess the track will be the only way to document the facts!!

    That trans look sweet!
    It looks great!! I like the new look over the painted black. It shifts great and feels solid. The difference is night and day. Thanks Vince/Chuck!!

    Does your 65e transmission run a little hotter than your stock 60e?

    It doesn't seem to. Hard to tell with the Tru Cool 40k in there. I am still only around 150 even if I have been dogging on it. You're gonna love it Ducky!!
