Stillen Air to Air setup

JWillis72 · 01-22-2016, 02:24 PM

Just spoke to Pat and he said everything in the trans and converter is 100%. He said there are springs in the converter than sometimes make some noise and just to make sure that wasn't it he is building a new converter for it this afternoon/ Monday morning and will ship it back on Monday. He seemed very sure the trans is perfect so now all I can think is " what the hell could that sound have been?", I have no clue so we will have to wait and see.

So many of your posts to this thread fall in a grey area between good news and bad news. I don't know if I am supposed to be happy or upset for you =)

This noise came from what sounded like underneath the car? Have you inspected the flywheel/clutch set?

There is a car on the lift right now but we will inspect it again before the trans goes back in. I will check but don't think that is it, the sound didn't follow the engine rpm and flex plate is bolted the the engine so I would expect any sound from it should follow rpm.

Sending good Karma your way.
If its true that what doesn't kill makes one stronger you'll be SUPERMAN by the end of this.

The trans was snowed in yesterday but they are shipping it out today, we should be able to restart this nightmare soon.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to 'like' these posts anymore?

Me either, I'm excited to have it back but it's been a lot less stressful not being able to be disappointed every day!

When you have your car back driving around the track, pushing 500+, it will have all been worth it.

JWillis72 · 01-26-2016, 01:45 PM

I miss the track so much, this was a stupid thing to do. I did this to have fun on the track but its just kept me from going to the track. the last time I was on the track was June, I so need this nightmare to end! My friends will be at Homestead Saturday and I will be at home pissed off once again.

Well yes, that too! I should have bought stock in Captain Morgan before I started this project, I feel like the people at the store are starting to judge me.

**** 'em. I buy my bourbon by the case. I did the math and I end up getting a bottle to a bottle and a half free. Not like whiskey ever goes bad.

TopgunZ · 01-26-2016, 02:13 PM

It wasn't a stupid thing to do. It just didn't go as planned. Well, it went about as far from "as planned" as possible so I hear your pain.

Had all this gone the other way you would be singing a completely different song though. I really hope you will soon be telling us how awesome your car feels on the track with all of its new found power and glory!!
