Plan is to run high 9's in the spring with the stock shortblock/heads and keep 100% of the drivability it has now.

Good plan. I'm going with a quieter blower and build the tranny.

BTW- does your tranny flare on the 2-3 and 3-4 shift's? Yesterday I figured out some of the 2010's have a crap tranny OS.There is a certain OS that has flare problems.I don't see how any tuner can fix it right without reburning the computer to a newer OS.
