All I can say is wow! me and my buddy went out to a closed track to test. I mounted the switch like the older trucks had there dimmer switch at on the floor board, so I built about 15lbs of boost and slammed down on it and then I would try to hit the switch but the first time i missed and the truck launched like it would usually do and my buddy nearly **** his pants! so the next time I built about 17lbs of boost and hit the switch right off the line and I nearly **** my pants! I have never been in a truck that launched off the line that hard before! sorry for the long post but I want to thank all that has help me on this site becuase it was worth it! So now what do I need to make this thing fly. 66 turbo, 180hp sticks, studs, and a pump?

I thought you werent supposed to use the lock-up switch in first gear?

 

your not at all, say goodbye to one of your shafts for sure. hit the switch in second only

 

Thats good news. Im surprised your tranny didnt crap its pants. That cant be good for it. So what did you do to get it hooked up?

 

Man, be careful on those boosted launches... look at the bottom of my sig, that did it for me...


That lock up switch makes that tranny feel like a stick with a stiff clutch, huh? When I got my co-pilot to work, I almost did it in my pants!

 

I would guess "full billet HTS race trans with a 91% suncoast converter" has something to do with it.

 

Didn't even look...

 

yeah i guess goin all out on the tranny is really worth the extra dough....I mean I didn't spend all that money for something to break.

 

I know when I used to race a 12 valve that I had, I had big traction problems in 4x4. Locking the converter on the launch would have just blown the the tires off. Just add more power, and don't worry about locking up the converter at launch.

 

Any code issues with the lock up switch?

How'd you do it?

 

HTS tranny's are the best out there.and goerend. both company's have great support, and product

 

I hear ya, Dusty told me that if anything breaks just send it back or get a state tranny mechanic to fix it and he will cover the cost under just about any circumstances, I used a 33 ohm resister inline with the ground and I have no codes so far

 

what lines did you tap into? They are on the driver's side of the engine block, correct? What numbers?

 

04.5, and 05's, it is the #25 port you tap into. The wire will be yellow with a light blue stripe, and the plug is marked externally with the numbers. Very easy to find the right one..

 

be careful with the lock up, i blew my TC apart with the lockup switch. Then again i was on juice when i locked it up.

i know you are supposed to lock it up when it hits second, but what about when you are spraying nitrous off the line? ever since i blew up my TC im afraid to spray again. Should i just not use the lockup when spraying? or is it usually ok to lockup under NO2?
