WITH CAPS LOCK YOU ARE SHOUTING!!!! Sorry, had to get that out. Woodbridge huh? I moved from there 2-1/2 years ago and I'll be back there the end of this month. Are you doing the work or having it done? I don't remember too many shops I'd trust. AA speed on dawson beach rd was good though.

A stock rebuild 700r4 is gonna be saying mercy the second you put a drag radial on it. Another guy down dawson beach rd was a transmission guy Dana Briscoe. I don't know if he's still there or not, but he did my dads 700r4 in his 69 firebird. It has a 462 and runs a bottom 11 sec 1/4 mi and is stock weight. The guy machined out the rear planetary and installed another larger prototype one with added fluid flow over it. So far its only the converters and over drive hes been through. When you lock your converter in the 1/4 mile you can gain like 3 mph. That's something you cant do with a th400. There arent many converters that have a 12" lockup with a smaller 10 converter that will last for a 700r4. I don't know personally, but some say a 4l60e is the electronic versionof the 700r4. It's just that I see a lot of really fast late model f bodies running them and not so many 700s.

as for the pix issue - when you upload the pic, look at the top after it "finishes" the download and see if it says it is too large. I forget that this forum "appears" to load the pic but then you hit send and it doesn't show - every time it has been the image is too big.

another way to check is look at the bottom of the upload pix window and it will say the file size max for various image types - make sure yours is less.
