I think it will go 10.20's???
One of my concerns is once I figure out the relation of shift rpm converted to time how does the TS affect that because now I'm slowing down the time it will take to reach the rpm. Make sense? Or am I simply over thinking that part. Any and all help is appreciated.

Yes I do have a turbo-350 and have been using this trans for a little over 20 years. I have always hand shift the car. I dont have a air shifter or anything like that. Car runs 9 teens in the quarter @ 145mph. with a 434 small block. and also 10.90 at 145mph. I still have all the mph because I have .05 in stage 1 in the timer and its on for 1.70. when its on the stop the car is down to a idle and still in first gear and when it comes off the stop I shift in 2nd gear at 7000rpms and the same for 3rd and it goes threw the traps at 7000rpms. my 60 foot times on the stop are 2.70. hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Rob
