Bruce, You remember Pontiacs, don't you? When I ran the 1/8, I had a gear thet put my shift point and finish line rpm the same. So there should be less engine wear because it saw those rpms for less time. Unimagionable launch? You bet! There's nothing like it. I carry the front wheels for about 400 feet, with the 4.29s now, so what'll it do with 5.43s?
By the way, Bruce, my rear bumper is the same one that I ordered from you, years ago.
