LOL! Now... how'd I know you'd be the first to reply.... knew I could count on you!
Yeah.... the car has been in denial for awhile now. Finally convinced her she's not the family car, and she needed to know her role

Actually... was thinking Glide, but.... Momma wants to be able to go for a ride around town on nice days/evenings too. Women
Buddy of mine has a used/refreshened Rossler T4 he's basically giving me(he's tired of my whining
). Already set up w/all the bells/whistles and should meet my needs(remember Momma?
)..... so that's why I'm leaning toward it.

The converter in it is a TCI 4400 non lock up. Like I was saying... just not sure if I'm running too much gear. Remember, I'm running 1320, but hey, if I can get her into the 5's in the 1/8th, I don't have a problem w/just running 660' and lifting-

Yeah.... exactly. That's what I was saying about thinking I'd be out of breath before the lights. I'm thinking a taller tire is the best(easiest)way to solve this. Gonna go that route and see what happens. Need to do a search for a calculator that'll let me play w/tire sizes vs. gearing vs. power vs. NA vs. N2o.
Thanx for the reply Chevy!
