That's probably the best KZfaq comment I've ever received my channel thank you Merry Christmas

Late merry Christmas to you to sir

This is exactly the reason I put a th400 in mine. I would love to put a manual in my LS swapped 69 Corvette. It would be a dream. But, when I run an index class, those guys are dead on. And I need every advantage I can get. Grateful for the video. And thanks for the honesty. Not many people are. Good luck.

Still got it. Its been an auto with a c4 and 5500 converter for a whole now. Runs 10.40s in the cool

@@revinkevnthat’s a relief, why switch over too an auto if you mind me asking

@chrishansen7004 much more competitive and consistent in bracket racing I run pro eliminator in the summit et series

@@revinkevn sounds badass! im planning out an ls swapped ranger do you think the longer gears of a 4L80 would be better in a light truck over a 5 speed?

@chrishansen7004 I always like the 410s with the 4 speed, especially if you're street driving. I have a 69 Fastback with 502 CI cobra jet, an AOD Electric 4 speed and 430s and it actually does ok on the highway. That should run 9.90 or so. My 68 with 411 and c4 3 speed doesn't like highway(rpm) The 410 with a 4 speed auto leaves alot in the low end to have excellent acceleration and decent drivability at 65-70 mph. This video the car had a 351w and a 5 speed tko500. Ran 11.00 at 118 or so. Now it has a svo 4 bolt , 408 with small heads and 5500 dynamic converter. There are a few recent videos where I'm running 10.50s off the foot brake. Where are you located anyway?

They were 410s with 26x10.5. Mickey Thompson drag. 10.5 lbs

Probably never even had it set. I shift by ear brother

And a good job of shifting you do!

b conover I agree with your comment about the shift light. Either adjust the shift point module for your desired RPM shift point or just don't use the light at all.

+gmiller25941 funny that youre telling a guy what to do with his own car. how about he uses what he wants because its his choice, decision and car. if you dont like it, that is not his problem. i doubt he woukd let you drive it anyway so why does it matter if the light comes on? are you going to be staring at it? no.

gmiller25941 usually the cover is on the light. i dont use that thing. im busy watching my mirrors, oil pressure and heat.

It's about the same, I loved my t5's but they're not strong enough :( currently using a tko 500 and it shifts great

revinkevn Unreal, my TKO 600 has been in and out 3 times now. Won’t shift what so ever above 5900rpm. Just goes to show how inconsistent the Tremec manufacturing facility in Mexico really is. Mine is getting a few upgrades this time. But these things are expensive to fix up. Sliders aren’t sold separately and that’s total bullshit because they want almost $300 for the 1-2 synchronizer assembly. They come apart easy enough s that’s nice I guess

At the tree I was just balancing the clutch. Went thru in 4th gear.

@@revinkevn Thanks for reply! If you were just balancing the clutch how did you stop it from rolling through the starting line beam and red lighting?

@@revinkevn Reason I am asking the questions is that I have a 1968 GT500KR clone that I am building with almost 600HP and Tremec TKX 5speed trans.

@Bazooka Joe bring the car to my track and I'll show you! Seriously, tho, I just know the release point of the clutch and you have roughly 6 inches of rollout before you turn off the top bulb. As long as you have a good clutch, you inch in it and stop the car with the brake. Bring the rpm up with the clutch just engaged. I have that tranny in my 93 gt as well. I have a couple of videos on board from that on my channel as well. Although it's a much less violent launch, it's the same principle. Please subscribe, ill have some new videos this summer. I have an 82 stick car I'm currently building that should be in the mid 10s. An 84 GT 408w that runs 10.80s thru mufflers and still have the 68 408w and auto 10.50s. They all will see a few passes this season although I'm concentrated on my son's Jr. Dragster campaign.

casanovaevren Congrats

revinkevn im still thinking about a muncie lol

What did you end up buying?

@@joshuagarvey9362 m22 muncie .that whining noise got me.

Just dont start power shifting right away .shift smooth at least 500 miles and change the fluid after 200 miles of installation

03 sv1k Hey whats up? If you watch the tachometer actually shifted close to 6800 on that one two shift. That is a TKO 500 bone stock out of the box no modifications. Thanks for checking it out.

Hey I used to race bikes out at island around 2001. I miss that track. It’s a shame it shut down people wonder why there’s kids and people in general racing on the street. Now they shut down englishtown. I’m building an 85 mustang 347 with the tremec magnum 6 speed. I spent the extra money because of rumors of tko not shifting past 63-6500. Yours shifted perfect. Good driving.

That old car was flying

myfordranger yuppers, around 07'

getting my 69 mach1 ready. 402w.. 550 535 stroker for street.. should be fun fun..

Yup, but im glad I have a car, money and the free time in life that enabled me to get destroyed. Dont be sorry.

@@revinkevn I like your comment, great life is being able to have a car you enjoy banging gears and enjoying the track life. Love it man!

@@damonrice8469 Thanks pal. I never understood the reasoning behind stating the obvious. The funny thing is, if you know drag racing, this was a time trial. When competition starts its handicapped. I actually ran this guy again in the semi finals and put him on the trailer. I didn't feel the need to explain this to him but for someone with common sense and a better understanding of life I felt compelled. Thanks.

@@revinkevnThe self appointed expert said DESTROYED ? I seem to have missed that part. I agree that you would be just wasting time trying to explain the difference between time trial runs and eliminations. But win or lose, there’s no better place to be than on the strip rowing through the gears. Well done 🏁
