Car makes 321kw at wheels in shoot 8 with an atom comp in the - (that means against me) .982 comp Idle quality is nice just yet to see what it is like on fuel. Also going to change from 3.07 diff gears to 3.46 just an update, car probably made more power than graphed. On the way home I noticed the convertor was not locking up correctly, After logging some data I found that even with the torque convertor commanded to be locked I had 500 plus rpm slip under light throttle. and full throttle, forget about it. Saturday morning I removed the pan and inspected the condition of the auto fluid, found white and silver metal in the bottom of the pan. I then phoned TCE who confirmed the lock up clutch had let go. So next week when I get some time I will get the convertor repaired and slot a se of 3.46 ratios it the diff and put it back on the rollers.
