The old Quick Stock rules outlawed pro-shifted trannies, and th400/th350 (Thunder). Thats prob. what your thinking of.
The Super Stock rules allow any production manual/automatic transmission.

There is not one for a TH350/400 or a glide.

Follow the NMRA at all or Fun Ford. ALL racing organizations with heads up classes have a weight penalty for manuals.
If the guy can drive (like most in this class) a car with equal motor will be faster with a manual.

They allow them with no weight penalty in THIS class.
I don't follow NMRA or Fun Ford. I do know they have been Very Successfull.
Not ALL Heads Up classes give a weight penalty for a manual.
An Aftermarket Clutchlesss Manual is a different story.

It's Dyno tuned...just need to hit the track. I was going yesterday until my Tach took a ****. I was able to get in on a rental at 66 but oh well. Hopefully this weekend. I think my race weight is about 3100 - 3200.
Nowhere near yours. You give me the hit...I'm racing on APE junk

i never realized how noisy my proshifted trans was until the other day when i had it on the dyno, we were videoing the pulls and over the exhaust (headers with bullets bolted on)you can hear the clunking into each gear. i love daily driving mine though...very easy.
