Congrats Mark.

Those are some impressive numbers for an unlocked 8" converter.

I am really looking forward to see that car run at the track!

I know how to use the trans break. Let me take it a few times down the track without the sissy sticks. The rear bumper won't be the same again!!!!!!!!!

Ha! You've done enough.

My cars rear bumper won't be seeing any pavement, I like her *** just the way it is.
Sissy sticks and SYA bars all the way. You've heard of the SYA bars right Rick? :p

Best part is it makes that power thru just about the whole rpm band.

Don't think we're going to wait until spring to run it, I forsee a trip down south like Pete said very soon after New Years.

I just want to be able to keep up with Rick.

Congrats Mark , And we don't have to wait until spring , MIR is open year round for rentals Monday to Friday ( 1-8 cars is 800.00 ) , let's get 4 or 5 of us together and go have some fun , my new converter will be at Cartek any day , itching to get back to the track .

With Alex driving maybe a ..........9.4?? I'll have to show him how to use the transbrake though, hehe it takes MUCH more skill than rowing that 6 speed.

Press brake pedal, push T-Brake button, release brakes, put your right foot down to the floor, release T-Brake button... hold on for dear life!

The trick for me is trying NOT to move your manual valve body shifter down for 2nd, then up and to the right for 3rd! LOL

I know Mark, shifting a 6speed is easy. Telling my left foot to not do anything during the run will take a lot!
