Nice to see a 4L60E deep in the nine's, definitely not a tranny you see too many people running in the 9's .

That's for sure. We have quite a few that are in the 9.6x and ^ however this car is a well built race car. Very smart driver and also a very loyal customer. Here is a picture of the car.

I have been running one of your Level V 4L60 transmissions for over four years without any problems at all. I have made many 9 second runs in my N/A C5. You build a great transmission. Congrats!

Here is another customer that sent me this info. Thought I would share. Vince



Posting info for DNB's runs for him.

Mods-

The 9.94 is from Carolina Dragway as is the attached video and the 9.93 is from Darlington Dragway, both of which are in South Carolina. My car is a 2000 C5 coupe with a 93 octane N/A 427 and FLT A4 transmission. It is a weekly driver and has the basic mods such as DTE rear, Yank TC, ARH headers, and lots of tuning which is done by myself.

Slips-

Thanks Zach. I think they need to work on the tune and the suspension a bit and that car will be in the 8's with a 4l60e. I know it was going into some sort of power reduction mode the day we were at the track and also was having issues with traction after the launch. It will be interesting to see what happens next year with the car. Vince

Thumbs down The best way to find cheap dvds online

You love to watch DVDS and MOVIES, and you're building up a collection, but you don't like to spend a lot on DVDs. Who does? One of the smart things a movie enthusiast is to know where to exactly get DVDs at bargain prices or at what must of us call- cheap. When it comes to getting bigger DVD collections for your home entertaining needs or for perhaps, a new start-up business- everything that has to do with wholesale DVDs purchases can be achieved with distributors that sell both in singles or in bulk. You can see such DVD distributors both on eBay and on the Internet in action everyday upon submitting searches on Google or Yahoo. The important thing to recognize here is- many of the so-called DVD cheap prices, are not the lowest prices they can really usually be.With today wide range of online wholesale DVD store options you can select from a huge amount of sellers online. You can go to eBay right now and get brand new DVDs at good prices, but are eBay prices the best DVD prices you can get on the Internet? They are good prices but you can get lower prices for in-demand DVDs. That can be achieved by getting a reliable and profitable DVD wholesale distributor. There are many online selling in bulk and in singles both on eBay and on regular listings both on the search engines. But what happens if you have an Internet store like we do or you perhaps want to add more DVDs to your home entertainment collection? Would you buy from the first distributor that comes up to you and says- I am a distributor? Of course not, you are not a fool- you will only buy from reliable DVD distributors that you can trust your money. So the greatest source you can get a distributor is from a DVD wholesale distributor. The same applies when starting a retail business with DVDs. By buying wholesale DVDs at bargain prices- you assure yourself of the best sales and, therefore, the greater net profits in return for your sales. To tell you a little more, I started searching the Internet for a wholesale DVD list that can give me the prices I was looking for both my DVD collection and my store on the Internet. I found them, it took me thousands of testing hours to believe, trust and certify as reliable. Best of all, the DVD distributors that I found are profitable- just in case you decide to build a DVD store business in the future either online or offline. But with some great online sites, there's no need to spend sticker price on DVDs ever again. YES, THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. www.dvdcup.com
