I see quite a bit of improvement available with a correctly built auto. I still don't think you need a big case trans for your power level. However, I understand if you already have an 80. Remember the 60 has a better first gear which gets you out of the hole like a rocket. Feeling the g-forces pressing back on your eyeballs from the torque/gearing is ******* fun.

I want a 6.9x 1/8 mile, mid 1.5 60fts..I hope it'll get faster..

Best is a 1.578 average 1.65 only leaving the line at 2800 rpm running 28x9 slicks 430 gears monster clutck 430 RWHP 403 RWTQ runs 7.3 in the 1/8 @ 94 mph traps 120 in the 1/4

A auto is just easier on parts and with a MVB should be just as fun.The T56 and 12 bolt keep abusing my wallet.
