Thanks! The TE37sl's are awesome. The fitment is pretty spot on, not as perfect as my F14 setup but really close, the 275 NT01's help it out. It's a good track setup for sure and looks great too!

Thought about the TE37sl, but I'm going to power coat my Ray's game 77.

Looks mean tho.

Awesome news on the Level 10 tranny. What did they end up upgrading?

Glad to hear everything is working well for you!

And the car looks great BTW!

Thanks! Level 10 did their full bulletproof package. Internals for the 7A/T, valvebody, and torque converter.

Awesome. That's exactly what I need done, except for the 5AT. I've even found a used tranny for $450, to use as a donor so I can minimize down time. Now I just need to pull the trigger.

Can you tell me if there's any change in driveability with the new torque converter? I'm not really concerned with harder shifting as I already have the valve body upgrade and it used to shift pretty hard before it started slipping, but I'm more concerned with at idle and engagement at initial take-off... I really don't want it to be clunky or anything and still want to keep it as driveable as possible. I just want to be able to use all of my 459 RWHP!!

The upgraded torque converter did not change the day to day driveability as far as I could tell. Still really smooth across the range.

Thanks! It's been performing well. Need to dial it down on the 1/4 mile too, just for fun. Finally got the traction control issue fixed. The new wheels are a track set-up with NT01's, but may become a daily set up.

I'm curious. What were you able to do with the traction control to keep it from interfering?

Car's looking great, BTW! Love those seats!

I ended up wiring a switch into the yaw sensor / traction control module so I can shut off the whole unit instead of bits and pieces.

I'd be really interested in doing this myself. If you have any more detailed information on this mod can you please send me a PM with it?

I can give a quick write up.


Firstly the Bosch Module (Traction Control/Yaw Sensor) is located right behind our shift units, it sits underneath the cup holders. The easiest way to get to it is to take off the front of the arm rest storage (the part with the USB and 12v charge)


When you get that off you can see the Module with a black plug and four wires coming out of it. The wires are green, light blue, yellow, and black. The green wire is the power source.


I cut this wire and spliced a switch into it in order to have a way to completely shut of the Traction Control and associated electronic assistance.


I took some pictures and will post them up when I find them.
