Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed?

I don't understand how a person can pick a particular car and when he finds himself at a performance disadvantage, wants NHRA to bail them out over a poor choice of vehicles and allow something that never came with the car.

Maybe we can all get Superchargers to level up the playing field??

Nothing should surprise us anymore. Integrity.....whats that??

I'm not sure but I believe y'all must be referring to me.... Well here I go, first I'm not asking anyone to bail me out! We are just looking for the advantages that everyone else has. I mean really?? Do you think we need to be "bailed out"? If I'm not mistaken we have the fastest A/S, F/SA, and CC/SA, so I really hope that wasnt directed at the Teuton camp. If it was well I guess everyone will just have to wait till Indy to see what this is all about!

Your point is well taken,but do you have ANY idea how a 390 Ford is allowed to use Edelbrock heads in STOCK ELIMINATOR,yet NHRA will NOT approve them for an Olds 455???

[Al Loyrat]

Yes they should get a 3 speed. 3 on the tree with a syncro first gear!

[treessavoy]

I think they should have 5 speed Lenco's

It's all a joke anymore anyway. What Ford or Chrysler ever came with a Powerglide? What Chrysler or Camaro ever came with a 9" rear end?

[BlueOval Ralph]

Ed arent you old enough to remeber
Chrysler Powerflite and the Fordomatic both were 2 speed about the same time as Chevys Turboglide don't have a excuse for the 9 inch but remember GM did use the top loader 3 speeds in GTO and 442 if you ordered a 3 speed

[RJ Sledge]

Daryl I have oftened wondered why only some Fords, Chev and Mopars got aftermarket heads and not all. Since I know very little about the Olds heads I can only venture a quess. Is it because there is a difference in configuration, valve size, etc., or because there are only a handful of Olds racers and a lack of letter writing to NHRA?? I am very serious and not trying to make light of it, I really do not know the reason. By the way I run the factory cast iron heads. Good Luck

I can appreciate your passion and it is to be admired, but I believe that you may have answered your own question as to why you shouldn't be allowed to change out your Powerglide for a ProTrans 3 speed. If you have the "Fastest" A/S, F/SA, CC/SA etc., etc., why in the world do you need more "Advantages".

On your comment about it being directed at the Teuton Camp......since you represent them...all I can say is "if the shoe fits.....?"

I await Indy with bated breath..........

Good Luck
