Still gonna run the test though? Very curious to see results, regardless of outcome.

Still planning on it.

I wanna know too because if my car can run a 10.6 with just a trans swap and be reliable I'm in.

Again, while CPT may know what to do for these things to live forever behind big power, why does the rest of the industry avoid 60e like the plague?

It just really doesn't add up.

Because they don't know how to build them and can charge more for a 80e while getting away with not knowing what they are doing since it's slightly stronger.

Lets take the CPT fueled hate of Jake's out of that statement, and just assume you mean every 60e builder. RPM, FLT, PB, etc etc. They and CPT all offer high rated 60e builds, why do no "fast" cars run them? If they lasted as well as claimed and were as strong as claimed, why in the world would someone install a heavier, power robbing TH400? If the statement of a tenth or two quicker from a 60e when compared to a TH400 is true (which I don't doubt) why aren't 60e builders selling these things like hotcakes on YB?

Riddle me that, cause I can't make sense of it.
