HMMMMMM..... I may be shifting my mod back to the s10 tranny.

Nah, they're not that bad if ya treat them a little nice. I don't know what would happen if a person had good traction though. S-10 has a one-legger rear end with 3.08 gears. I had the right rear tire aired down to 12lbs and a thick rubber bed mat in the bed and it would still just smoke the right tire anywhere through 2nd gear if I touched the secondaries.
My best speed was 76.07 babying it for traction. (1/8 mile)
I always thought drag strips had better traction than a normal road....
If you're thinking about a 5 speed trans, a friend of mine has one out of a 1/2 ton truck for sale. It's the same as the S-10 version except they have a bigger output shaft, (TH400 style), and a 30% overdrive as opposed to the S-10's 20% overdrive.
I'm gonna be posting it for sale shortly, (supposed to already done it...)
