Prowler front spoiler and side pipes are one and done’s.

I've hidden the spark plug wires since this pic.

Needs a new paint job and weather stripping. Don't plan on selling it.

I don't care too much about mpg, but it is nice to get 20. My stall is a little much for my gear too, but just over idle is 70mph.

I wish I could figure it out some how or just add more power I guess. Oh yeah then the trans is too weak..

No idea, never had it on a dyno. I ran 12.4 @ 114 (I think on the MPH, can't find the slip) with a terrible 2.x 60' time. With some real tires I think it could be in the high 11's. I had the trans built by a local guy that builds a lot of high HP stuff for drag racers around here. The trans is not even something I think about. The rear and half shafts will be dealt with next if I ever get inclined to tear it apart.

Me? Mine was built and rebuilt by Arrow trans in WI. It's supposed to hold more than 750hp, but my motor with a shot can push 1200hp, so trans is not taxed. Motor only 650-700hp.

My shifter is a cut down stocker, and a custom piece I made for selecting gears with a manual ball. No button, you push the whole thing down.

Thanks Daniel,it was time for a change so I put the emblem back on the hood. Yes the Black widows are nice but with only 8 built a bit scarce.
