    Very cool John, glad to see your having a good time. Sounds like all the hard work you put in on the car is paying off. I still see quicker times coming in the future :thumbs2:

    Thks Homer.:).I better thank my lucky stars. Have a 8in, 462 spooled reaR,stock 28 spline axles with 3in studs. built C4(tranny brake),with a 4800 converter. had some 2nd gear issues, and motor problems. Have most resolved in tranny, but waiting for some cash and time to do 2-3 runs on the chassie dyno to see if the smaller converter (3800) solved my engine problems. will post later all the corrections and if motor has been fixed.TTFN Ron:)
