Mike: hopefully all the shakedown problems were dealt with in building the car. I know what you mean though... After all, we will be doing this on Friday the 13th... 
Down south... About 45 minutes east of downtown St. Louis.

Did anyone guess 0?
The 108k mile T56 went BOOM on my way to the dyno. I was cruising along at 65mph in 6th gear and out of nowhere came the sound of a shotgun. The back tires locked up, then freed up again. I pulled off to the side of the road and the rears locked up for the last 20 feet or so.
The engine starts and runs fine, but if i let out the clutch, even in neutral, the engine stalls and dies. The shifter won't even move into 1, 3, 4, 5 or R.
I got the car home and drained the fluid. It's bright red with tons of metal parts. There was no sign of it being cooked at all. Even when I was waiting for the tow truck, there was no heat in the shifter handle.
So, today's totals came to:
0 rwhp
0 rwtq
1 ctf (catastrophic transmission failure)
Maybe Friday the 13th was a bad idea after all...
