My 11 second queen has to come apart

Well, another nice long trip to Carolina Dragway to run 11s. Thanks to Gerald, the Trans-Brake is installed, works great. However, new problems include the rims are spinning inside the tires even on a my test launch at 3100 that cut a weak 1.79.

Next run turned it up to 3700 and around 17psi on boost. Something was off on the two step though as it left at 4200@17psi, shocked the rear tires hard and unloaded on the rebound. Also turned the rims about 3inches. Cut a 1.64, then all the problems. The transmission is for sure slipping, I was at 89mph and 3rd gear @6300RPMS. Even had to shift to 4th to get thru the 1/4 off the limiter. Fu**.

So, the only thing thats truly "built" on my whole setup is f'in up, should have tried a stock 4l80E.

However, made it home and beat up on a Heads/Cam GTO. Guess I should be thankful for something.
