Bravo man, Bravo!!!!!
Thanks!
The trans is a 4l80e built by Rossler to handle my motor including full throttle shifts into overdrive (normally the weak link). He installed clutch plates that were thinner and weren't on the market at the time of the build so more could be installed. To be safe he asked me to at the point of the shift to pull a bit of timing for a split second. This way I also have a lock up converter. With a 3.0 gear and 7000rpm I have a decent top end.

I had some new car glitches last year on its maiden voyage. One shorted out coil, grid, and ignition box all in one shot. MSD was good enough to offer to replace it even though I was past warranty without me even asking. By the time I got everything back it was winter and I had a basement to finish. Stay tuned if your interested, i should have updates soon!

In some ways it reminds me of the Roadsters Shop 1970 Camaro "Rampage" and is just as nice.
