oh yeah. the tranny has broken twice now. first was the case then i burned it up.
turns out the "fully built race tranny" i got from a "friend" WAS A STOCK TH-350 WITH a shift kit. now itll be completely new all around. i should be able to yank some good 60's with the transbrake. the interior and paint will be done by summer too.

no clue. got it tuned for 91 octane on 12 psi when the tranny let go. i m gonna get the tranny back in and buy a boost controller and go from there. i have a strong feeling that ill be able to do 18 psi on 91 0ctane. i cant imagine what another 6 psi will do. its already a rocket at 12 psi. should be some fun shit.
