low budget bracket racing blues

Here's my take on this. First, you didn't say how old or how fresh the engine is, if you did I missed it. The ring seal could be going away. It would be evident that the car runs better when hot.

I don't use a cooler on my race car trans and I leave off a tranzbrake. The car is more consistent without it. Just put a temp gauge in the pan. B, or whatever number we are on, yes you need an extension on the filter

i dissasembled and inspected the engine before i put it in. it came from a friend of a friend who pulled out an old truck. visually it appeared to have almost zero wear anywhere...everything looked like new. it couldnt have had many miles at all.
i woulda never thought you could race one without a cooler. it makes sense to me that the fluid doesnt change temp as much. how long does a trans usually last in your car and does it run every weekend?
