haha yeah that was me. I was on my way to a bonfire out in Ankeny. I was curious when I saw you ahead of me goosin' it a little bit. Unfortunately my coilpacks are about 16 years old and when I got up next to ya I blew some spark out and decided to just fall back and hang my head in shame rather than try. Your car is nice is hell though, love it.
Your car is sweet, need more Supra's around town.

its going right on tech here for sale Tyler :-) Its also not a lockup converter, which is where I think there problems came in at. Im going with either a Circle D 4400 or a FTI 4400 
Do you have suspension and tires to get it to hook?

Heck ya! I wish I could trade my gto for an f-body so I could have a proper suspension and larger tires. Then maybe i could launch like a man instead of a little girl...lol...I've got a 3600 yank converter and I launch at just under 2000 rpm rolling into the throttle. Anything more and it just blows the tires up in smoke.

but on another note, i did get the pedals out tonight (what a PITA!), got the clutch master cylinder out, console out, shifter and boots out, disconnected the t56 harness. She is ready to yank out on saturday, but might just try and yank it out tomorroe night, if i can find a trans jack to do it myself with!

Both Adam (orangemagic) and I run circle D. I'm curious about the FTI though!

well, ill let yah know how the fti performs once its in the car and i can make some passes with it. i never even got a responce back from circle d, so went with Greg at FTI. 9 inch, anti ballooning plates, 4400 stall on the brake. he said i shouldnt hardly even notice its got a stall in it under 50% throttle. im interested to see how this bitch performs!!!
Who knew it would come to this! 
and the debate rages on!
