Its not a super duper secret ....... The only secret is all the boost........it just a 17 blade . I liked the way clints 17. Blade acted vs the 18 blade he had before .
I just got Bob Bailey car running again and I have been driving it a bit and I like how the 17 blade is on the highway.
I just have a question do you think it having a non lock up now over the 9/11 will I need to get a bigger trans oil cooler . the one I have a pretty good size .

From what I've noticed, they all act the same on the highway, even the brake stall is pretty close. The biggest difference is the coupling point at a given HP level, if a 17 blade couples at 4600 on the 2-3 shift, than an 18 would be around 4800 with the same hp.

Well in clints car it seems to bottom out on the 2-3 shift at 5250-5300 per xfi.

So assuming everything else is the same, at the same hp level, yours should be close to that

For comparison my 138-140mph passes at 25psi the converter flashed to 5400-5450 with high viscous hyd oil. At 29-30psi it was flashing to 5550. 18 blade stator

mine is a 19 (th400 dex3)
coupled and pulled down to 5250 coming up on 1st gear
on the 1-2 dropped from 6200 and coupled at 5300 )
2-3 at 5750 pulled down to 5450
trapped 5850 138 on 28x10.5 slick
the 139 pass i shifted differently and had 1 psi less boost to the 1/8th
coming up on 1st coupled at 5150 (dropped from 5300)
1-2 shift at 5900 drop to 5300
2-3 shift 5750 drop back to 5400
trap (scaled says 5901 rpm says 5850) @ 139
i have a 17 on my 87X'd with a 2004r ,really dont miss the lockup and with classic fast thats one less switch i have to flip while driving

As long as you have any external cooler you should be fine. Of course the bigger, the better though...you can't get a trans to cold.
