Yea right you funny girl.. I put that somehwere where you couldnt touch it! I havnt lost anything as long as I dont sale it for less then what I bought it for.
If I would have waited till now to get in I would have been better off, but who can predict the future. I got in on the way down. It will go up at some point, I hope it will be when I am ready for for my turbo set up.

Well it shifts NA, but it must not be able to hold the power on Spray.

Yea same band I guess in the trans, but the one I got in now was the first one he ever built for me, so it probably has around 7K miles on it by now and countless street and strip passes on spray... OR its in the tune yet but I went up to rippie this summer and he looked it over real good so the next step is the new trans, the 2002 roller trans I got should be going in this weekend

Wichita is a long ways from here. Those trans brake's are pretty sweet. I'll def. get one added when I order a built tranny.

I talked to my cousin about it this morning and he didn't hate the idea, so that is a good sign, just he would have to upgrade the trans to hardened input and output shafts and a few other things to take the shock, then he wasn't sure what else would go....

We may try it, I am going to get him to call them and see how user friendly the thing really is on DD driving since it sounds to good to be true.
