I never said you can't go fast with a 60e, just a th400 is more reliable and cheaper in my opinion.

Gizmo, yes I know their is plenty of tricks you can do to a 3 speed, problem is I don't see anybody doing this for a street class. The whole point that bugs me is people saying a 3 speed ISN'T streetable when it is very streetable. Lots of guys run the 3 speeds vs od for reliability/cost, not to go faster vs the od. This is no different than saying a guy can get a fab 9 with all aluminum parts and will have an advantage over a guy with a stock 10 bolt.

I to wish they would let 3 speed cars in the class, but I guess I understand why not. I went to a TH350 after going through a pair of 700r4's because I could do it cheaper, take the power easier, and can build them myself. I just want to support the shootout so if that means i have to enter a class that i have no chance at i'll do it for the cause.

You would be amazed at what people will spend to get a trophy! The problem is that this would be hard to police. It doesn't make a difference to me because I don't race this class. I just think that any rule change should get open and honest debate.

I know what you are saying. I drove a 1969 GTO as my first car with a TH-400.

You would be lucky to gain .05 over a ten bolt.
