The trans brake should pick it up quite a bit. Are you going to be able to make some more passes this year with it?

@ rotor vs. piston the adapter didnt fail. The harmonics from the converter were wiping out the main bearings. So 3 converters later the problem is fixed. Some people are having good luck with the adapters but i would never use one again...

Is there any chance that these short manifolds would fit down and forward? Do they have enough room to cut off the flanges and weld on v bands? Also what is the plug access like? Thanks
