the only thing that I can think of that'll stop me from doing that is the lack of a tranny brake. I'm leaving the tranny I have now in mine, so it'll be launching off the footbrake, which means I'll have a horrible time building the boost I want on the line.

As soon as the tranny gives up it'll get a brake with the rebuild, meaning that I'll be able to launch at my desired rpm with full boost.

I don't think I'm that far off, and I bet you've still got more $ in that beauty of yours, N2TRUX

And don't worry DroppedZ, quite a bit of that work is already done
