We have a few low 8 sec cars running Dave's transmissions. They all run great. Both on the track and street. I wouldn't use anyone else.

i personally was never a fan of the draggys til i saw one in action ,they are very close to your actual time and can definitely give you a very close estimate,,,,the fastes cars are impressive but when you get to that level your breaking carp all the time whether it be drivetrain or engine failures (its part of racing and modifying the cars ) it becomes very pricey and being witout your car for months at a time sucks ,you really have to weigh the cost of it all ,i personally was sometimes spending 5 k a week ,,i can tell you i dont miss it at all

I feel that last part in my soul right now man. just seems i keep finding the limit of the next part over and over again. even when i think I'm using the best available.

This is why I quit 1/4 tracking my M6 cat, 1 violent wheel hop event and forever after noisey diff and axels until replaced, about 5 k in todays parts prices, nope, not for my wallet any more either.

My experience with Pure was an incorrectly supplied converter wasn't even close smh. Burned up 3rd gear as a result. 2 weeks after instal ZERO track time ZERO 1/4 mile pulls SMH. Ill probably send it Sipple for repair really don't care that its under warranty from Pure not interested in doing business with that clown again. So when I get it back ill call it a Sipple trans lol.

Sipples Speed and performance. Has held up to some serious abuse in my car. take a look at all the cars making the fastest passes and winning events. 98% are Sipple speed transmissions. I found the limit of 2 BGE blocks before ever finding the limit to the Trans.

That thing is cooking! Just shows how freaking fast u gotta be to be in the mid 3's 60-130 geeeez low 8's. 2's ull need a 7 second car 100% and 2s on the street will require even more power.

My Trackhawk is BIG, HEAVY and lacks AERO lol but im shooting for mid 3's this year on the street. I feel I can be competitive if I can be that fast cause no one thinks Hawks go that fast but shits gonna break just waiting to see what breaks first ha.

My goal is to get it to 4600 lbs so basically a stock Redeye with AWD ha. Which means I gotta drop 700+ lbs. Ive already dropped 245 lbs. Have another 500 or so to go..... It's doable it's just terribly expensive but my goal isn't just to be faster but lighter so I put less stress on parts for one and get better gas mileage as well. I get 10 mpg right now on E85. Not too bad actually considering that's what a stock TRX gets if u drive slow lol.

I figure with another 500 lbs weight reduction I can get to 13 mpg or so and knock off a few 0.10's.....

I have the following already.

1.) Aluminum Block 85 lb saving.
2.) Rear Seat Delete 65 lb saving.
3.) CF Hood 20 lb saving.
4.) Titanium Exhaust 50 lb saving.
5.) Demon lightweight Rotors (Their really not that light to be honest u save like 5 lbs over stock smh) The CF ones weigh 17 lbs and the 17 inch conversion weighs 21 lbs.

I need the following.....

CF doors (Coming this summer), hatch, fenders, Moonroof delete, 17 inch Magnesium wheels or Belaks not sure,, 17 inch brake kit front and rear with lightweight rotors/calipers, Mentzer shocks, CF Tillet B10 Seats, Antigravity lithium re-start battery. Probably looking at close to $50k smfh.

Thank God I'll never need a casket tho cause I'll be fuking buried in this thing! My whole life is in this truck.
