We can adapt everything but the full-on engine braking. There, engine braking is limited to the lock up/overrun clutches. Some engine braking is present, just not as much as the 60's. Hoover and Vinnie's cars are fully operational as just described. Hoover will get an experimental 4L80RR in the fall. Mark is mildly concerned about sprag failure on the 80's. Getting the 80's to shift as quickly as the 60's is another concern (mine). Words cannot describe just how tight Bowler's 60's shift. It's awesome. Likewise the Compushift controller has super quick processesing (like comparing an Intel 286 to an Intel Core Duo) But, for now, Jimmy just wants to drive his car for a while, so we won't make the swap until fall.
