Just got the new tranny in today thanks to Orange S10.Never did get to drive it around but it sure did shift pretty damn hard up on the lift today.The tranny came from Performance Automotive.Hopefully will be in the 7.9s now with a little extra suspension changes in the rear.Also put some new Mickey Thompson Drag Radial's on it.Those tires hook like a sumbitch.I removed one of the leafsprings and now it squats so hard that the rearend twist and the back of the driveshaft hits the floorboard.Going to try putting some traction bars on it to see if it will stop doing that.Wish me luck. :D

Cal-tracs are your best friend on that set up. That's what I had on mine. Went 7.10 on motor and drove it to the track.

It seems like the $300 range. They are worth every penny.
