so it'll be tighter on motor, meaning that if anything, it'd drive nicer.

but it'll be slower on motor as well. that may be a problem, or might not be. that's up to IROCZman

Re: My quest for a good wheelie: suggestions on transbrake, converter, or something e

put a 4.10 gear in it and have a converter built to stall about 5000 rpm and hold on for dear life. no transbrake required.

i bet it runs 10.30's with these 2 things too ;)
