I was told not to use Dex 6 as well by a very well known builder. Dex 3 or type F. I have been running type f in my trans since 2011. Finally changed it last year to try hy gard.
Yeah I ran the type f for a while too. Very firm shifts. I liked it but then one of the most respected trans builder on this site recommended Dex VI so been running that ever since. Many ways to skin the cat I guess and everyone has their favorite fluid. To each his own I guess...I was told not to use Dex 6 as well by a very well known builder. Dex 3 or type F.

That's fine. No problems here bud. Just what I heard from my trans builder. I wasn't recommending not using it.Yeah, not trying to start anything but I don't feel that is very good advice. But to each his own. I'll leave it at that. Tons of threads here on that subject already...
I need to play with the TV I think I left it where it was, but it seemed to short shift 1-2 else it just spun hard and shifted. It was hard to be sure it did spin some but just a little in second kicking the rear to the side. No smoke just some short black marks when I hit it off idle as a test.
Car really looses power when the temps hit about 80 outside .
For the money the old converter was pretty darn good I think looking back.
I am hoping for about at .3-.5 and 3-5 mph gain with this unit though.
Hate to get my hopes up. Lol
23-24 psi go from 12.55@110.33 to 12.0 @115-116.
Anyone want to hazard the guess the et game ? 60 foot was 2.026 1/8 was 8.129@89.25, 1000 was 10.51 in od at that point . I think I got at 12.45 with a 109.8 on a 1.94 60ft on the second pass.
Don't know when I'll get to go race though.
Removal video attached playing with time elapse.
currently running a pink Vigilante. best I've been is 12.08 in 1/4, but I feel car has more in it and the TC is not pulling hard enough to the end.
What pump "Vigilante" converter you running. I used the "0" pump 5 disk LU vigilante with stock cam heads crank etc and have ran many 11.XX passes and locking the converter at the top of third i would always see a 700-900rpm drop when locking the converter, usually picked up 20+ mph on the big end. Ive always used Amsoil super duty atf and Dex 6. Sorry a bit off topic.I've also got a pink vigilante multi disk converter, too. I've got down to a 12.1x in the 1/4, and i think mine is also just giving up on the top end. I just got a 3021 HF from Husek, so I'm curious to see what mph I can gain. Does your car usually have a high cruise RPM like mine does?
Oh and if you can tell me how to get the car to hook on a 275-50-15 drag radial I'd appreciate it too !
