Default finally doing my first mods!
So this weekend the car is going into the transmission shop. Mods to come:

Custom Built 3400-3600 Stall converter

Shift Kit

Tranny Work done

Trans Cooler.

Finally getting some mods done!!!! Best part is its costing me nothing
More to come this summer. (Exhaust)


Anybody have an idea of what kind of ET I'll pick up from the mods?

Never had a rear end leave me like that.

B&M Conveter plus 9Psi of boost and a healthy 1-2 shift equaled ripping the center hub out of the B&M POS. Hence the tow home. Got it to the shop at around 5pm Feb 14th 1999. Drove it home at 8pm.

No Steph was not impressed missing her Valitine Dinner for a Conveter swap and transmission cleaning
