Maybe. It depends on how my drivetrain takes to the new found power. If you notice the fastest stock internal cars are big stalled 4l60es like mine, but then you go into the cam only list, and most of them are th350/th400s or m6. We have some tricks up our sleeves for when it is time for cam only though. I won't have a 4l60e any more, but something better, and not a th350 or th400.

You weren't the only one. Rich (88monte) was there in a checkered flag mini skirt cheering as well. Maybe we should get some pit crew T-shirts made...

I plan on going for the Stock Internal record in March when the tracks open back up. I wanted to bring the car down to Texas over the winter because of the great air down there, but I have been working 12-14 hours a day and don't know when I will be able to get some time off.

Powerglide if it was a big power adder car. Seems like the best thing for a mid-power n/a car is a banger. Least drivetrain loss, you can still shift quick if it's a clutchless setup.

We're trying to get down there this winter for a little street/track action. Figgy wants to bring his car, possibly one of our shop cars depending on what gets down, and possibly another guy or two.

Yeah I would love to put a glide in with a forged 408 and a big shot, but I don't have the coin for that.

I just added 50 lbs to my car so I will be going for the fastest 4000 lb. stock internal record. I plan to do this with the new found weight and 3 passengers.
