    Thanks for following along, it was an awesome weekend to go rounds at Indy. I will also say that an SS/AH hemi car sounds awesome when it goes by in the lights.

    Re: Help me build a turbovan into a drag car!

    I didn't go to Gainseville, Art did (and broke an axle while there) so I'd say he didn't have fun.

    Omni's came with 3-spd automatics, the GLHS is an omni and the classification guide does not list the car as "manual trans only". At a min weight of 2510 w/driver it MAY have a chance against an MTX...

    Re: Help me build a turbovan into a drag car!

    That's a project I'm looking into now for the Spirit R/T I've got in the barn. It's doable just a matter of how you wanna make the ring. What are the chances of getting lockup converter logic into...

    Re: Help me build a turbovan into a drag car!

    You can't run a 4-spd ATX if the car only came with a 3-spd ATX (likewise no 5-spd MTX if car only came 4-spd)

    Welded diff and spool do put the same stresses on the axles. More the issue is that you can not get good weld penetration on case hardened gears. I believe it is listed in the general regulations...
