Car is 3 speed th400 with 2.10 first -- leaving at 12lb boost - 60ft was only 1.08 - the bigest change we made was 4 link set up and a new pair of real expensive shocks.
Ill add some pics -- if I ever get home.

Way to go Curt. Number 2 Qualifier in Top Sportsman at Las Vegas. I think there were 51 cars in the class.

Im not sure what Langer runs - but I believe it is a th-350 or th 200 dirivitive -- I think this 400 is supposed to be stronger - but uses up more power - John may correct me here?

Is it time for a 2 speed Lenco? or a big old Allison?

IIRC Langer runs a Proflite which is an A904/998 derivative weaker stock than a 727.

I run a proflite. It can barely handle the power I have. Most of the "fast" auto turbo promods run the Rossler 400.

Curious to see what part failed. Rossler builds some pretty stout pieces.

ok - got it on the lift last night and pulled the pan -a lot of fine metal ad what looks like small pieces of bushing and not really any clutch material - at this point Im thinking front pump or convertor??? It did push out the front seal -- thats where the leak came from.

I keep pushing the limits of the trans with each tq increase. Every time I break something in the trans, we engineer a new part to find the next weakest lint...

Like opening a surprise package from the Joker. Sounds like..Converter or input shaft press fit.

Curt. Who do you use for converter with this turbo deal? With HP numbers like you are making,it would take a pretty stout piece to handle all that power.

I am using a Neal Chance - it has been great in the past -- we will see this weekend when it comes apart - maybe the old girl cashed it in ??? I was getting ready to pull it out last nite and was kinda surprised to see that the front pump did not look like it got hot -- yet it pushed out the front seal -- hmmmm I hate surprises
