Brandon, I bought this transmission jack and love it:

I pulled the 47RE trans off my diesel dodge 2500 by myself with it with minimal hassle. I use ratchet straps instead of chains.

I also used it to mate the trans to my 4G63 on an engine hoist, too. I like it because you can angle it on 2 axis' with a good amount of precision.

Cool, my HF jack is pretty bad. Maybe I'll give that a shot, thanks man. What sucks though is this tranny is just so large it doesn't fit well, that's the sucky part.

Nice work, I'd be shocked if you didn't surpass those goals!
I can't wait to see what it does turned up! I bet it will do 140mph.

Another thought. Some supra guys have issues with their master cylinder not having enough to fully disengage the clutch and upgrade to the tilton bolt on master. Two other guys currently doing the CD009 swap on their SC's had a similar issue and upgraded to the tilton master which fixed the problem. So maybe i need to do the same. Going to give it a shot before I pull the trans.

Not bad! Talking to rwd guys, it seems the burnout is pretty important as well.

Do you have any kind of launch control or are you just free revving it at the line?

130+ is moving!

[Halon]

Free reving. Yeah I been talking with Dave Henry, getting some pointers on doing longer burnout, and faster. Said he used to do his in 2nd gear. He also mentioned the track maybe have been shitty from all the street tires and potentially shitty leaky cars.

Can you setup a 2 step?

[Halon]

Yep, just need to wire in the clutch pedal switch. I was hoping to have it done before PG but ran out of time.

[turbotalon1g]

That will make life easier for you, anything you can make more consistent will help you get faster like 2 step, boost by gear, tire psi, etc.

Can't wait to see you get faster with this thing!

[Halon]

Would love to figure out how to leave on lower boost and bump it up in 2nd gear. That'll be some time though before I start toying with stuff like that though.
