Slips into third

[quickt]

It is just funny how one day one method is WRONG, and the next day it works. (like the booster valves, cheap shot I know) There is certainly more than one way to get a great result. No ones way is wrong. As long as it works!
People, keep and open mind, and absorb everday.

Peace.... Brian

AMEN

I ran my car for years at the 10.50 ish mark without dual feeding with a stock forward drum @ 3710lbs. I did notice that every year when I pulled the unit down the 3rd clutches were worn and in need of replacement. Bruce (PTS) introduced me to dual feeding. All I can say is I broke 4 forward drums in three weeks. Bought a New Billet drum (that killed me to do at the time) and the rest is history. I worked on that calibration for years before I thought it was right.
I personally know 10.50s was not a problem for me. Do I think dual feeding is a must? No I do not. Many went much faster than I did with the standard 3rd apply area. I do think its a major benefit in the long haul for direct clutch life in a fast car.

We all think our way is the best. In our minds it is. Just because we believe it does not mean the other way is wrong.

Well said Lonnie. By the way, call me I have a question for you about a BR valve body...

I didn't know Bruce used dual feed at all, from past posts he has made it seemed as if he didn't.
I prefer to dual feed on anything that i can get a billet fwd drum in the budget.

I have a couple of opputunities to do some testing on 200-4Rs coming up. So if anybody wants to share the tricks of making the regular apply area live I will try it.

I have no problem with using the large boost valves, my issue was the .570 I tried a few years ago was SHYT! It was poorly machined, it continued to stick even after I polished it. After having the pan off about 3 times jacking with it, I ****canned it.

It came from PTS. I replaced it with the regular $4 .500 boost valve and no more weird pressure problems.

I've been installing the .555 boost valves from Chris lately.
