I have a feeling it will run a few 15s at least when I first start. I've never been to a dragstrip before.
Sounds good to me though. Can't wait to find out for reals

I will shoot for 13s. I mean now with the C4, the II will be hovering around 3000lbs or so, and a little more power with those longtubes (not to mention getting the power to the ground finally) I think she could swing it 
Only one way to find out

Good to hear the II will be running right again. Wondering about the dipstick tube and firewall clearance in regards to the 1in. engine setback. Hope you don't miss overdrive too much... maybe it's time to score a gearvendors od unit ($$$$) in the future.

I never got to use overdrive in the first place lol. That AOD was ***** to drive to begin with. Sides, If i can stand open headers no the freeway at 3K RPM I can stand anything right?
I just want big smoky burnouts again
And Once this stuff is fixed, i can FINALLY track the car

Its probably going to get junked, or sold to a tranny shop for rebuild. I dont have the time or space to play with a dead tranny, much less the know how to do so.
And Jason, regardless of what i said already, I'm sure if i rebuilt the tranny myself the car would defintaly RUN. It just might not drive
