Just food for though; a 6R80 will go 7's while still giving you six forward gears and keeping the car streetable.
I know. 4r70s go fast too and it’s totally streetable even with no overdrive. I was out last night cruising around.

Lol thanks man. Yea 154 felt pretty damn fast and without a cage and chute was little more scary. But the car went totally straight. Literally so smooth it’s stupid.

I just always thought that the 6R would make the car a bit quicker than a 4R. But the 4R is still good. My buddy aj who had the comp orange 04 cobra had a FB 4R and his car was going mid 8's at 165mph.

No not really. Heavier. And such. I mean people run two speeds and go way faster lol.

Great looking and running car!

Thanks man

Well this was it. Last time I'll race out here in cali. But man the car is working with so much more in it without upping boost.

On Friday I hit a test and tune to make sure the new suspension changes are working. And they are. Pulled the filter off the YSI and ran a turbo guard. Didn't actually do much as I still only saw 17psi. Converter was changed out and is working really good, still needs one more change to be perfect though. Wired in the two step on the Holley Dominator too, and messed with traction control a bit. Leaving at 4000rpm with more room to leave at all.

Setup is:
Built 10:1 engine, with custom cams and ported heads
FB 4R70 with lock up
Tons of suspension work
YSI with custom A/A on 17psi
MT Pro Bracket Radial.

I'm extremely happy with how the car performed. Huge thank to AED Racing and Drew Wallace for building this amazing machine. Huge thank to Shaun@AED for the help and dyno time and pointers. Couldn't be happier. Not a better shop on the West Coast or in my IMO the country. I can't wait to get to the south and show them whats up. :)

Love it man congrats!
Get better DA and try nothing in front of the impeller and it’s your 8!
Kinda makes me miss my 4R. I have a Lasala billet 6R in the garage for the LX, and I hope I don’t regret selling the 4R. But you’re right, there’s always the Glide right? High gear is high gear :)
Congrats again and good luck on getting the 8!

Yea I might try that next time. The 4R is totally insanely built too. Good for 1500+rwhp so I don’t think I’ll be replacing it anytime soon. I’m quite happy with it. Some people are even removing 1st gear in them too. Nuts. Thanks again man
