I think a good quality kevlar trans blanket may approach the cost of a new quicktime.

You have a SBC it's not like a steel skattershield for a SBC is hard hard part to find used at a good price. JMO I like things simple so I'd just go steel scattershield and not look back.

Yeah that might be an issue huh. I'm looking into the Quicktime as well. Thanks.

True. I see them all over so that won't be an issue. It's always nice to just use what you have laying around.

Oh I see you have changed your stance from sandbagger to frontrunner.

She does love her some nice high dollar running shoes.

I'd go safety first, it's recreation. Legs are my primary concern and fire factor is the second.

Do you know the weights of the mag and Quicktime?

No scale at the shop but everything points to about 8 lbs for mag, 11 for aluminum and 20-24 for steel variations.

Here's a Tilton in steel @ 24 lbs.

100% correct And I've never seen a trans blanket that covers the bell housing also how to you run a trans blanket with a stick? it'll have to go under the shifting rods

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I think Prada makes a bell housing protector.... Or maybe it's Jimmy Choo?
