Yeah an 8.1 converts to a 12.7 in the quarter. But I'm expecting a little btter than that, since the Paxton is not all that great in the 1/8th. Dont really spend that much time under full boost, in the 1/8th.FlyingLow said:

Boost is for girls Steve but I am going to end up picking up a convertor! Ill most likely get one ready for the cam that I choose though

You can have a faster time. I also had a 8.1 time that was 12.4 @ 114.
I'm interested in this TC. There are good description for how it improves launch and it sounds great in this truck, but how is it to live with on a daily basis? Does it retain the lock up capability? I cruise around town and drive on the highway under 2500 rpms most of the time. Will it stay in lock up at light throttle? Sorry if this is a NEWB question, but I searched and didn't see this addressed.

Mine drives fine and I do a lot of city driving and freeway. I think it drives better and feels more responsive than stock. Didn't notice any difference in gas mileage and I drove it back from Colorado after paint.

I agree with this... especially given that you have a centrifugally blown setup that will make a lot of peak HP. I bet you run a mid, low-12 with an 8.1x 1/8mile time. You're just getting started at the 1/8th mile with that engine combo.

I need a lay away plan.
The only difference that I noticed, was the shifts got a little softer. Other than that, no difference in drivability. I will be installing a shift kit this weekend, to bring the firmness back. But as I've said before, this should be one of the top three mods to a QC. SCT and catless mids, being the other two.DESRT10 said:

Maybe the first mod should be to get rid of the rear doors and seats, lolLoveThisTruck said:Still a slow ass QC
Too bad you're so far away. Or I'd have to show you what an extra set of doors and seats could do.mickster said:Maybe the first mod should be to get rid of the rear doors and seats, lol

Ahh, it all depends on the driver, his personal weight( ahem, ahem,) and we can easily make up the 500 lbs difference. Especially if you miss 1 shift!
I have owned my share of T-56 although not the Viper version, and the 2-3 shift can be fun if you are not a driver, and even a good driver can outrun the clutch with the pedal sometimes and miss a shift. We may have to have a QC vs RC brawl across the nation and see what happens mod for mod, and pound for pound.Don't get me twisted, as I still intend in the very near future to make my QC a 6 speed.:aetsch:
