Sorry Mike no one beats up on Smokey except for me... But if you can find a willing car that is built to handle some pretty hard abuse, that you can borrow for the challenge I'm up for it...

I don't know how bullet proof it is, but the drivetrain is built up pretty good.. I do need a billet Steel Flywheel to go with my Ram 900 heavy duty clutch.. Once I get the flywheel I'm going the change the clutch disk out and input shaft in the tranny to a 26 spline instead of the 10 spline TKO shaft that I have now..

It's very easy to run good times with an Auto.. It's more difficult to do it with a 5 speed.. 5 speeds will usually make more power then the auto but the auto will be faster down the track... I know some people that have gone 6.7's with a cam only car thats an auto.. Anything can happen if you have the right set up..

I know I can get this car alot faster in the 1/8 mile then it is now.. All I would have to do is put my 4.10's or 4.30's back in, take some weight out and put my skinnies on.. It should run some 6.9's then..

I know that... I just changed from being a track only person to both track and street.. And those other gears are a little too much for the street and only being able to top out at 120mph in 4th, but it would get there rather quickly, but after that it was over..
