THANKS@MEANCAT ,IM PRETTY POSITIVE ALL SHOULD GO WELL BUT UNTIL I GET IT STARTED AND DRIVE IT I WONT ACTUALLY KNOW ,FROM WHAT IM HEARING FROM CURT THE TRANS ARE HAVING ISSUES GETTING THEM TO SHIFT AFTER REBUILD SOMETIMES ,I PERSONALLY BELIEV THAT IT PROBABLY LIES SOMEWHERE IN THE VALVEBODY OR SOLENOIDS ,THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME ON MINE IS THE CLUTCH PACK CLEARANCE , I KMOW I HAVE THEM SET TO FACTORY SPECS BUT WITH THE ADDED CLUTCHES THE CONCERN IS THE RELEASE OF THE PACK WHEN ANOTHER IS COMMANDED ON BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLY OF THE CLUTCHES DRAGGING ,MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THE SHIFTING IS CONTROLLED THE COMPUTER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST FOR IT ,BUT IF I DO HAVE A CONCERN ILL HAVE TO PULL IT OUT AND THEN I WILL ADJUST THE CLEARANCE FOR THE ADDED CLUTCHES ,I THINK IF IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLEARANCE IT WILL SHOW UP AT WOT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE WHEN THE THE PROCESS OF ONE RELEASING AND THE OTHER APPLYING WILL BE THE FASTEST SHIFT
That all makes sense , hopefully rite the first time.

Didn't @cole3986 run 8s blower only?

I am not sure, too much nitrous use, this year my best was 9.02 with a DA of 3,000 to be conservative, he has the record, however, I can run 8's on boost (2.3 blower) on anything under 2,000 DA. Summit owns a 2.7 L blower, has he stated it was with a 2.3 L hellcat blower?

I am focused on my SFI 25.2 chassis Challenger, if I missed some stuff, please let me know

Some here just do not know, I was running 8's with Epling before most here bought there cars. I have a standing call out to a race shop that will not line up (for years). That is a stock A8 shifting there, tuned by Curt. You do not believe me, ask Curt.

Yep, big shot, before, 2.7 L blowers where out. Lots of weight, Epling ran 8.68 same day, we both set world records. This is the video and pass that made HHP change their claims, no longer quickest A8.

Another guy just went 8’s boost only on a 2.4L as well, but with a 426.

Everyone was surprised how I ran 151+ at Atco. May be tuners have figured out how to tune these tcm

BTW, there’sa Charger running 4600 lbs 9.0 on 2.4 Blower. I’ll say that’s the fastest car than anyone. Including demon redeye with that weight

Dang Cole, you couldn’t keep a secret. Could you. I bought a blower from IHI thru my sources 3.0. All I needed a 2.95/lower

BTW, I never said my car ever had 2.3L.. May 2.3 comes in the special cars

Cole, I was talking about you with my wife and here you go again. My son was saying dad, you need to get Deadpool wrap. I was like. If I do it then Cole won’t like me either.

solenoids came in today ,I reset the adapts after the valvebody install and drove it around in street mode to let it adapt ,easy driving , after 5 drives thru 8th I did some drives in sport mode then in track trans performed beautifully ,I just did a wot pull in track mode for the 3-4 shift with my 2.65 set up and it shifted right on thru at 6435 rpm :), my initial impression is the shifts are very nice definitely better then before nice crisp shifts in sport and good banging shifts in track ,street also feels a little more crisp from before
