  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Thanks. Hopefully I'll take it to the track within the next few weeks. I rebuilt the TH400, installed 4.10 gears and new drag radials. Feels great on the street.

    10.9 @ 124, Rebuilding the transmission now and making a few changes. Hopefully a little bit quicker this year.

    what times are you running?

    It's usually in the mid to high 1.50's. Plan on getting new tires this year and switching to 4.10 gears. It's all steel except for front bumper and full factory bucket seat interior so its a pretty heavy car.
