NHRA just took the index up to 9.90....Guess that was last week, DRC sure is slow to the draw on that one.

We all should have 3 speed auto trans. Ford got them; blown and unblown, chevy has the same, mopar has them on v8 unblown, but not on the v10 cars. We would be at least closer to the blown stuff anyway. Just looking to get a little closer. Maybe a 512 CID with a 5 speed. Move your feet when you let go of the clutch pedal.

Can't MOPAR submit a three speed for that one?

They should be able to, maybe it was NHRA just lost the page with it.

It has been tried numerous times and rejected each time - the odd thing is they authorized a stick which was never built or submitted - go figure

5 speed stick?

Now you are talking! I bet you could make that happen too!

We have what we need, but time is a factor. My wife became very ill, hence we backed out of Denver. We are looking at the project now. I think we have all the pieces for a 4 or 5 speed. 700 lbs torque.

RJ, when you drive a Mopar and I drive something else, then the world will have tilted on it's axis.

Very sorry to hear that - prayers are sent for her recovery

Drag racing is just not that important sometimes
