Thanks guys. It was a good but lucky weekend. Sometimes things just work out in the end.

I wish I had a update on the car but I have been so busy I can't say I do. I will get on that and try to post something soon.

I don't really have much here on my end with chassis stuff from DMC but I have got a bunch of parts. All I got pictures of at this point is the trans.

I went with a ATI Superglide 4. This thing has all the options ATI has to offer.

First I hope to never have trans issues so that is whay I went with the Superglide 4. This thing is rated to 3000+ HP and has all the larger shafts etc... in it.





Also one great option is the external pump set up. As most of you may know a turbo car is really hard on the fluid since they always take a few seconds to spool up and that heats up the fluid in the converter. Well what happen is the converter stays hot when the car is not running and that in turn boils the fluid in the converter until it cools. Well now all I have to do is run the pump for 5 mins after the run and that will allow the cooler in the ice box to really help cool the trans and fluid down. That should be a huge help in the life of the whole trans.



Next is the converter. I went with the Outlaw Series 10 1/2. They are a really nice part and have 6 mounting tabs to keep it on the flex plate. I got 2 of them that I will have to tweak on a little bit. I will have one that will be set up tight and one set up looser. This will allow for a little bit of adjustment for race track set-ups. That is where the testing will come in once this thing hits the track.





Once I get a chance after this weekends race I will post some pictures of the Strange Pro Series 2 Brakes and all the MSD stuff.

Also now that DMC has got Jason Reiss in house doing some stuff for them I asked Jason to please update the thread with progress pictures on the car over the next few weeks. So you will see some stuff I would think in the coming weeks.

Thanks guys
