torn seal on the input shaft question
I run an input shaft that has 2 rings. One of the rings has torn. I feel like I've lost around 7 hundreths and I'm hoping this is my issue.

Have any of you ever torn a teflon seal and can you tell me how much it slowed you down?

My car normally runs mid 4.60's. It's 1.05, 3.00 and 4.65 at 148. This season has constantly been around 1.08, 3.07 and 146 mph.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry Mike, I don't have a racepak. I'm just hoping someone has had the same issue as myself and can tell me how much their ET was affected.

Thanks

I've got a Mega 400 box with run replay, you can track drop back at the shift rpm there too, if you have that box, or option.

A lot easier than hooking up a laptop anyway.

As long as the drop doesn't change, you know your power is good / same, as well as your torque converter.
