Your car looked awesome...great job, and I am not sure everyone really knows you race it/drive it, and what a monster it is.

Saw your car on Road Kill Nites the other week, and it looks like its spinning out of the hole...Then again, that is not a race track, but I am sure you saw how some guys hooked with no problem there...When you do get it to hook, you will find the weakest link. We have trying out Hoosiers new DOT legal slick, and man those things work!

As for convertors, call ATI. That guy knows how to do them for the big engines like yours. I called all over, and they were the only ones that answered and said no problem....I am at half your HP and my street car 60fts a 1.33 on leaf springs & caltracks...My race car 60fts a 1.29 with a four link and sway bar....Might be time to revisit the suspension on yours.

See you around Jim...
