Re: Long Post - New Owner
Welcome!
I'll bet the paper clip was this:
Paper clip
A paper clip? Well, I know there is controversy on this subject, I can only speak from experience. Locking up the torque converter has always been worth a solid 2 tenths (YES, TWO TENTHS FROM A PAPER CLIP!) at the track. Some say breakage can occur, which comes from the fact that you are working the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) on the shifts by locking it up at WOT. This can eventually burn out the clutches, but at the typical "Recipe Car" level, the stock converter will take this treatment for several hundred runs.
^ that info comes from this site under drag racing your Turbo Regal on the technical/ resource guide. Seems like it was done on one of the ALDL ports under the radio pod area.
