Already got the car in the high 11's with all stock internals, 10bolt, na. Just really want a sleeper truck. To bust a few stangs and vettes. It'll take some work yes but be very rewarding i think.

aww man,
i loves the th350 for the *** whoopins.. ive taken out cobras and other cars with my 3rd gen, now that car pisses off alot of ppl, its ratbait for stangs.
mine got manual steering, th350 and 4k, also.
but i cant deny i dont enjoy the wheelstand on race day
but the t56 is fun for scaring off the ricers and stangs on the streets and impressing your buddies on roll races.
