BasicallyIt's a box of rocks and a note telling you where to stick them
My ONLY hesitation with doing a Main hoop and making my overdone 8pt into a legit 10pt cage is what happens in an accident without a helmet on. As you'd most likely be in a car that gets driven as much as yours.
I know thousands of people do it without issue, and maybe it's unwarranted but it's stopped me from doing it myself for the time being. I'm definitely going to tackle swing outs here soon though because it's a big pain in the ass to get in and out of without a front bar to hold onto.
Also ysi+auto trans=
I know with a turbo 400 you're not supposed to downshift until you've slowed to a crawl and you're supposed to finish your burnout in second gear. Also not supposed to shift out of 3rd until you've slowed down after a pass. Unless you've got a certain setup, clean neutral they call it maybe? Something about overspinning the forward drum and rpm multiplication making it a whirly bird of death.
I've got a super lacking understanding of autos lol but am trying to pick up before I grenade my new transmission.
I'm not sure what all applies to other autos but I would imagine they're all the same basic layout. I was unaware of this with my first th400 and it survived
I've been out of the game a while are c4s not cool anymore?
Edit: I skipped right around that whole wanting OD thing
Exactly man . You hit the nail right on the head . These cars are not the strongest built cars either . I've been in accidents with them . I've been hit head on in one . All of those cars made less then half what mine does now. I want to be able to walk away from anything God forbidYou are way faster than me, but a cage has been at the forefront of my thoughts lately too. I think we downplay how fast our cars have gotten to. None of use want to hit a retaining wall on the interstate at interstate speeds, yet we will drive 50mph+ over those speeds at the strip without care.
Definitely do the cage, and I am all about the swing outs for a street car.

I can't convince myself to go auto. I have one here but I think I'm going to sell it just because it's a street car and I'm always going to be a stick guy. I think you'd miss it too.

I'm in that same boat. Was going to use my tko at least until I could afford a t56, but now I see that the Holley dominator can control a 4r70w and it's making me debate going that way assuming I can get one built to handle 700hp. But it would almost make things too easy.I feel that way too to an extent . This is serious real world problems here !!! Lmao

Have you driven a manually shifted auto? Or do you have any way of driving one in someone else's car?I can't convince myself to go auto. I have one here but I think I'm going to sell it just because it's a street car and I'm always going to be a stick guy. I think you'd miss it too.

I think you'd like it a lot more than you'd think. I can understand wanting to stay with a stick though
Jeff rode with me in mine when we were at all out automotive I was really close to converting him to auto and turbo lol I think there's a pic floating around here of him outside of it lmao and @TOOLOW91 you gotta remember my block is getting replaced so I won't be out at all until march or April of next year lol
