Darren and I have run many times. Its nice to see him progressing like he is. Nice Job!

Darren has had everything already done by himself for a while now correct??? You all did the manifold and turbo install?

yes it does have a higher stall torque converter. other than that it has full line pressure and thats it. it not going to be like this for long though as some talks have started with a certain trans company about some upgrades. more on that later though.
