Wade,

Wise words that won't be ignored. I plan on doing a lot of testing at the local Spokane track in it's current configuration just as suggested, two reasons, one to get some fresh seat time since I'm a bit rusty and unfamiliar with the car, and two, to check out the current combo. Andy's input about the trans/rear will also be taken, mostly because I already have the brand new Passon 5 speed and a new Dr. Diff Yukon 3.91 drop in unit so those are no brainers, however I won't be doing either swap until winter down time sets in.

It would be fun to run our cars together, we can work out a plan down the road but I'm open to it, me, you, Steve, and maybe some other A-body guys could have a little shootout, that would be a hoot!
