I need a Shep tranny bad. All this talk of going to the track with some high hp cars is killing me. All I need is a tranny, and all I have is three busted ones.

I need my 10 second slip.

Here is a basic rundown of my only time at the track with some real power:

Well for a total of three passes total at the current power levels(571fwhp/490tq), and with shifting issues that sound as bad, if not worse then Swannys. At 28lbs(running out of fuel.. would run more otherwise), a 11.4 @ 132 still holds up pretty well. I think two runs were a high 1.7, and a low 1.8 60ft.. But my best run(third) should have been THE run, when an intercooler pipe popped off in the middle of the third run, with my best 60ft ever(1.6x). And with dropping down to 11-12lbs?(Shane may remember)with the pipe mostly off, that run was still an 11.5@122?. That run was my quickest eigth mile as well, I'll have to look for those slips.

I have severe spinning issues in first and second due to street tires as well. It's not that easy to make power, then get a perfect pass. Between relearning how to launch your car, then getting a series of perfect shifts, and not having any mechanical/tunning issues, running the # you want is not as easy as it may seem. So for those who have done it.. congrats. I just need some seat time.
