Finally pulled the 200-4R
Well, we got it back in and it drove great. I wasn't smoking anymore. At the advice of my builder buddy, I ran the vent tube down the side of the transmission like they used to do when they had problems in the 80's. Every time I put it on the hoist it was damp in that area, but no drips and no build up of fluid. I called it good and went to the track with my brother, who had his Warlock on nitrous and wanted to beat me for the first time. I had a new torque converter and reset my timing curves. My previous best was 12.2, and this time I got to the track early, went through tech and let it cool down for an hour. My brother figured he would hit low 12's maybe high 11's. My first run was 12.02. I really wanted to get into the 11's, but the track conditions were horrible and neither of us could hook up. At the end of the last race I got pulled aside and was told my transmission was leaking and I was done until I got it fixed. I've decided to run the vent tube up and attach it to the dipstick tube and see what happens. My brother and I went head to head. I'll attach the video. I was ahead and he was holding his own and he believes beginning to gain on me and he missed a shift. He was not happy. The camera is in his Warlock. 5.7 Hemi, 150 shot nitrous, custom 3" exhaust with X pipe and Viper 6 speed manual tranny. Dyno'd at 520hp at the wheels and 680 ft/lbs of torque. Blew his clutch
the last race of the day.
