Hello all...
Hey guys, my name is TJ. I'm the new sales guy here at RPM. I've been in the motorsports buisness now for 8 years. Working on everything from Vettes to Mustangs to Lightning trucks and all out drag cars. I personally own a dare i say it, Mustang. Its an N/A 370 cubic inch all aluminum small block Ford. It made 850 hp on the engine dyno at 9400rpm. I run a local series here in the midwest call the outlaw street madness. The car has run a best of 5.76 at 121.90 in the 1/8th with a 1.34 sixty foot with the REAR tires (26x8.5" slick)... the car has sixty foot 1.28 with the fronts. I look forward to speaking with you guys and helping you with your transmission questions.

Ok... I'll get a vette when someone can put an N/A vette on 26X8.5 tires down the 660 faster than my 5.76 pass... at the same weight or more.... that seems fair to me... what do you think??

Yeah... the converter stalls 7700, its a 7" conveter with a powerglide, and 5.13 gears out back... I leave the starting line between 5200-5500 rpm... depending on track conditions, and shift it at 9400 and it goes through the traps at around 9100-9200
in the 1/8th...
they are clevite H series performance bearings.
