i have a trans go in mine.if it is possible i would do everything except the shift kit first and see how it feels.i had my verter and tune done and loved the way it shifted(quick+positive feeling).then i had the tranny rebuilt with the shift kit and had it tuned again but the shifts are a little harder than i would like.just an idea.good luck man

no, i don't have any new times after the tune. i am running the cheapo fuddle "street" converter.

i averaged 109 traps beforehand, and a couple 110s, but the car wouldn't ET with a spin like that. thus far i've generated my best ETs by torquing the car jup to ~1,100 rpm and rolling into the throttle. it will 60' 1.67-1.71 with that method, and going ***** out off the line thus far has done nothing but annihilate the tires. car went 1.62 with 373s, lid, and the stall. after i added headers i couldn't get it to stick.
