Congrats! 
That must feel same as a new DTT to us auto guys!
BUT...did he say how it will shift in the 1/4 mile? I know, I know....not your main interest... but that's just cause you haven't tried it yet!
Actually, have heard they work well at the track!
Starting out in third...anytime you want... cool.

To bad you didn't get a deal on one like my buddy and his brother got. I guess it does pay to be an existing customer. 
I'm finally getting places with this new quad box. I'm impressed. Quad's been real nice to work with and very willing to listen to what I'm telling him. I will say this though, it fuels very hard on the bottom end. Maybe to hard. The truck bogged all the way through first gear from a standing stop full throttle launch. And it was only half way up.

Nah. Only Eric. And in reality he only bought one FE for the truck that the DD got put in. The other FE he had bought was for his old truck that he sold.
I'm up in the air right now about twins or a single with nitrous. I'm trying to look farther down the road this time on this purchase since it's the deciding factor on how I take the truck. I have a feeling I'll do twins but having 550-575hp and then flipping a switch and having over 750hp would sure be fun to.

I ain't worried about filling it all the time seeing as how it would get used for drag racing and dyno's and maybe a street run every now and again but I doubt that. I just don't think you could hold 750+hp on the street. That's why I keep leaning towards twins cause it's more power every day all day but been talking with some people and they are saying that a single with nitrous is going to be the quickest at the track so......

I just bought me a new billet input shaft. It's even the new one piece design. And the best part, I got it for less money than DTT charges and James said that it's a great shaft and to go ahead and get it. Now I just need to get the billet output, servo, accumulator, and apply lever and I'll be good to go.
