Default Thanks Rodney from RPM Transmissions!

The Wavetrac performed flawlessly Saturday at the track. Clearly this GTO now needs to ditch the oem front shocks and springs. 60 ft time was in the 1.55 range. The drag radial/manual transmission combo isn't the best either, a bias ply ET Street would work much better with the manual transmission, but the drag radial works much better as an all around street tire. We're seeing a lot of belt slippage above 4000 rpm wit the F-1C. Word is that Innovators West took over on the pulley's that Reichard was making, I'm going to get one on order. The GTO only ran a 10.70 something granny shifting it on the first time down the track Saturday with Rodney from RPM Transmission driving it. He wanted to make one pass taking it easy on the car to get use to it. The next pass he tried coming out at 6000 rpm and the rear tires went up in smoke. We were getting ready for the third pass and Rodney discovered the steering wheel was loose! This steering wheel has never been out of the car! WTF... Rodney took the car back to his shop and he is going to tighten up the steering wheel for us, then we'll pick the car up and get it back to my shop. Rodney has been a huge help with this GTO lately. He swapped out the stock 27 spline output transmission shaft for us for a 32 spline shaft, which required quite a few modifications, along with a turbo 400 yoke. This required a lot of work, and Rodney hasn't even given me a bill yet!!! Rodney even put new bushings in the Hurst shifter to get rid of some of the slop that was in it. Bob
