Default Got it back!!!

I finally got my car back!!! I missed it sooooo much!!! If you didn't know, I had to get a built tranny and torque converter. Now the car can handle the 450hp that I have. I love the new tranny!!! I've got some new pictures if you want to take a look, check it out at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/522849. Now it's time to get more power!!!

the tranny feels-- no lag b/w gears b/c of built torque converter, and the shifts are smooth as butter, but 1st to second and back are a little jerky. haven't done the 1/4 yet, but i just might this week.

How is the torque convertor lockup on the built tranny? Any pictures of it? Are you also running a tranny cooler? How much down time did you have?
