SMokey hasnt been btich slapped good here lately without me working at the track anymore..
He needs a good one! 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..

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..
