just curious... stock wheels?

 

 

So if you floor it off a light with the 245 17s itll hook and go? wow thats a relief for me

do you have a tranny cooler to go along with the added stress from the converter?

 

Yup, stock 17" chromies.

 

Depending upon the street, temp, who's in the car, etc,... Sometimes I only get a tiny little "eet" and then she hooks and is gone.

On the Street, every now and then, it might spin for 10 feet, or very rarely 20 feet, but,....at the track, it hooks and goes.

When my previous Hankook tires got 2 years old and down to the wear-bar indicator, they didn't have much traction and would spin for 20 feet. (235's)
These Pirelli's are a much better tire!

I do have a tranny cooler too. It is HIGHLY recommended. So much so, I'd personally call it a requirement myself. I got a B&M brand from Summit Racing. ($45)

I want to get a tranny cooler, the only thing I am sacred of since I live in a winter climate half the year reaching at times -30 celcius ( but not often), I am scared something will happen to it during winter and it will end up blowing my tranny.

 

Figured I'd drop these timeslips in here for reference' sake!

Hollywood, The cooler is just a small radiator ya know, could you block it with cardboard or cover it during the winter months?

here she is....

 

Ya Im just worried about the connections freezing and leaking.

 

I think you might have better times if you ran premium 91+ Octane and the octane boost. That may have given you some extra power since the timing gets retarded when using a lower octane level. But great 1/4 time and with the Supra rear end, it will diffently be faster.

 

Hollywood,
You could just re-route the fluid back to the radiator during cold weather, and reconnect it during warmer weather. I don't believe that running it too cool is a good idea. I doubt the fluid will freeze, but the rest of the transmission doesn't like being too cold.
