I guess when you run a 3500? stall converter you don't build much heat.

Who's converter is 3500 stall? My converter flashes to 6400 RPM and I'm on it for ~ 10 seconds before launching.

I wonder how many transmission 1320 Racer has built? My .02.

1. have always filled my trans to the 1 pint low mark.
2. over 5000 passes and my trans ain't ever puked, maybe I'm just lucky.
