This is a street car, but 12.00s doesnt do it for me, and i want to go quicker. I can add nitrous to the motor, but the 4 speed probably wont live for long behind that.

A 727 with a trans brake, and a big stall with a bunch of goodies in the trans would also help the car be quicker. I could also sell the a body 18 spline for some $$$ to offset part of the cost for the new auto.




I guess the real question that needs to be determined is, how much faster do you want to go,
Because a T-brake may not be needed
