Dato made it in SM, my pic is in Dragster Australia.
With those mph you should be able to run 11.80s/11.90s, drop you 60' & 11s will follow.

yeah i know theres alot to be had both in getting the power down and also in improving the tune etc and making more power :)

on that note, i pulled the trimatic out today and got her apart partially and found some stuff that was not how it should be hahahaha....

so the servo piston (bottom left of pic) has split in half

thats all i've found so far, hopefully thats all it is, will be giving everything a full clean out though as theres grey gunge all through it.

have found from a quick search on the net that you can get steel billet ones of these so that might be the go!

fits just like a bought one, albiet a tad harder to get in with two sealing rings now instead of the one ring on the alloy unit.

while it was apart i added some size to the 2nd and 3rd clutch oil feeds to get it shifting a bit harder - the holes were only one size larger than stock which i believe is about a stage 1 type of shift firmness, and while 1-2 shift was pretty good the 2-3 has always been a bit slow so hopefully it will be a much improved beast :)

got her all back together and its sitting on the bench ready to install!!

That is fast service.
Did you open the 2-3 feed port to 5/32", which is the same size as the gasket, or did you go bigger?
