Well wow, i almost forgot about this forum. Good thing i finally checked my e-mail. Yes all good sounding advice and i will try it. I got the transmission freshley rebuilt sence my last post and am changing the old cilinder heads out for some hyp dart's along with a machanical billit roller cam and roller rockets with a tall plenum Edlebrock Victor Jr. Manifold. Maybe that slippy trans and the extra 100 horse will put me in the 12's if i can get traction...
