why u take the engine out? yeah ive seen the sn95 it was a hoss

and the plot thickens................I pulled the engine so I could get to the toque converter that wasn't stalling at all let alone at 3500-3800 like it was supposed to. What I found was mind blowing!! That fuking tranny shop put in a stock converter from a 1995 windstar.

Emilio just gave me a number to a rep from BBB today. I'm going to call on monday and see what they say. At the very minimum I want my $650 back that I paid for the torque converter. I think he should also pay me for my labor of having to pull it out. Then he lied about the place that supposedly built it and said that they were in AZ. Turns out that they are in Irvine! I hope justice prevails in this.

No telling how long the car will be down this time. Well at least I got 2 passes at Barona.

Damn that sucks but that is crazy that a windstar converter held the amount of HP.

That is actually motivating. I hit 7.8 on my second pass ever in the car with a windstar TQ converter. Imagine what this thing can do with a real converter?

i bet you can hit low 7's

I'm hoping to be sub 7.50's when it goes back together. I just hope that I can straighten this mess out without getting screwed. I have alot of phone calls to make tomorrow.
