use stock LQ9 hit 13s 12s on juice. figuring i hit low 13s on a 75 shot with a 5.3 on street tires. also LQ9 can tow my stang.........this will only happen if i dont solve the tranny problem

i really hate to see someone give up/de-mod a truck because of the "hassle/time" i always thought that was the fun of it. 
well hope you get it worked out, for your mods... someone should be able to have a 60 hold together for ya.
