**** boyz!
All that money being throw around on clutch's, you could be running on
4l60's or 80's by now, and be fast!
I've been rollin on that ol stock *** TH350 for 3 years now, with no problems.
I've lost count on how many track passes are on the trans and not a wimper.

Find you one out of a truck some where, then I can hook you up with a builder. Be cheaper then swaping clutches once or twice a year.

I won't disagree that I am not a hardcore racer but I do like to race occisionally and I think that is why I don't go auto with a big stall, but I won't disagree that you are right.

Check out Bowler Transmissions
They have a new product, either the TapShifter or QuickShift, (I disremember the name) that's an electronic controller that allows you to press a button and be able to shift your automatic manually with no accidently hitting park, reverse, etc. You can either use a toggle-type on your console or push-buttons on the steering wheel; we have both types on some of our cars. Then you can turn it off and drive home in auto. Really cool. Not too expensive, either.

1.67 60ft. It definitly has a lot left in it. I just need to tweak on the suspension. I am not really sure where to start though LOL I have never had to worry about it before.

Just going to have to get it out and play with it
Each car is going to be different.
My car is right on the edge of not hooking with the current setup.
Coarse thats at the track, wish it was the street also
Money permiting, Im going to invest in some 2-ways for the back.
Theyll be just as much for the street as the track, racing wise.
Torque spikes on the bottle are hard to coral on the street

I can only imagine trying to hook that beast up on the street. I have noticed a difference with my dual adjustable shocks in the back. I hopefully will have mine out in a couple of weeks at Hardinsburg.

You could have the coil removed and a Shockwave put in (an airspring mounted over a shock), which you can get in dual adjustable. Other than that, you'd have to call our sales guys (or we have forums on our website, you could ask in there), I'm sure they've got something but the system I'm doing Saturday is really the only one I know anything about (try to reserve what little brain space I have for shock data )
And yeah, good vid, thanks for putting it on SIFYBC. I appreciate it!

Lol, I'm sure his goal in life isn't to please Beerman, but it might help with the constant harrassment
