Lets hear some more talk about how it runs from the stoplight, with
4.10s and 3000 stall it should be a huge improvement from what
you had.

Ya, it rips. Sometimes I can get a good launch but it is easy to get massive amounts of wheelspin with sideways action mixed in.

Your car is not supposed to be sliding around like that wearing out the tires, put the 3.08s and stock converter back in.

Well, today I have converted most of my rear tires into smoke. I think I have half of the tires I started out with. But it was worth it!!! At least I got it out of my system

I don't know exactly. A mechanic noticed it was missing and replaced it....clunking was gone after that. I'll look and get back to you.

I got the noise figured out. It may have been the rubber peice on the front mount. I already replaced that.
