Yes your right I'm not very good with updates, so I did go with the solid upper bars, I like it a lot better, I did go with the 5500 stall converter and actually lost about a tenth , and about 5 mph in the quarter, but my lights were nice and consistent and the car was to, all in all the car is working good, now I can't leave anything alone, I'm going w9's this winter and a bigger cam, and changing to a glide, I'm hoping with going to the glide with the extra power it's going to have I won't be fighting the wheelie like before, my brother has the glide and we are going to trade transmissions, but Iam going to put the lower first gear in it, I put the 4.89s in for a heads up deal that got rained out, so I never did get to make a pass with them, so I put the 4.44 back in for quarter mile
